Extra pickup accessorial explained

Carrier context

An extra pickup changes the origin side of the load and may create more appointment, paperwork, and cargo-control risk.

When it applies

• A second or later pickup is added after the original booking.
• The added pickup changes route miles, loading time, weight distribution, paperwork, or seal handling.
• 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.

Common documentation

• BOL or pickup paperwork for each origin, timestamps, seal notes, and revised instructions.
• Written approval showing the added pickup was part of the booked load.
• 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

• Confirm the extra pickup before dispatching into the first stop.
• Ask whether the added origin changes total miles, delivery appointment, or accessorial exposure.
• 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 pickup address, appointment, extra-pickup pay, and revised delivery expectations before dispatch continues.
