Carrier context
An extra delivery creates receiver-side complexity because freight may be split, appointments may differ, and proof of delivery may need separate records.
When it applies
- A second or later delivery location is added beyond the original delivery plan.
- The added delivery changes routing, unload time, receiver requirements, or final paperwork.
- The event is tied to the load and is outside the basic linehaul move.
- The broker, shipper, or receiver instructions create extra time, labor, mileage, or out-of-pocket cost.
- The rate confirmation or written approval gives a path for requesting the charge.
What to check on the rate confirmation
- Extra delivery pay, delivery sequence, addresses, appointment windows, and whether each receiver has separate delay terms.
- Whether the charge includes mileage only or also unloading and paperwork time.
- Whether the charge is already included in the all-in rate.
- Free time, approval process, dollar amount, and documentation requirements.
- Who must approve the charge and whether a revised confirmation is required.
Common documentation
- POD for each delivery, receiver signatures, timestamps, shortage notes, and revised confirmation.
- Messages showing when the added delivery was approved.
- Arrival and departure times when time is part of the request.
- Receipts, signed paperwork, gate records, emails, or text approvals.
- POD, BOL, revised confirmation, and invoice notes.
Negotiation notes
- Price the added delivery before leaving the prior stop.
- Ask whether partial delivery or split paperwork changes billing requirements.
- Ask before the cost is incurred when possible.
- Keep the request factual and tied to written load terms.
- Do not assume approval from a phone conversation; request written confirmation.
Example wording
Please confirm the added delivery address, delivery sequence, extra-delivery pay, and documents required for each POD.
