ACCESSORIAL FAQ
-
What are inside delivery charges?
For inside pick-up or delivery, additional charges may apply if the driver needs to go beyond the immediate area of the receiving door, deliver to a location other than the ground floor, or handle a unit of freight that exceeds the width or height of the receiving door, requiring it to be broken down for successful pick-up or delivery.
-
Is there a way to avoid appointment charges?
Yes, by giving us a pick-up or delivery window of 3 hours or more. This will allow us to plan and schedule your shipment efficiently and effectively, ensuring a smooth and successful pick up or delivery experience.
-
Are appointments guaranteed?
It is our goal to provide the highest level of service possible, however, we cannot guarantee appointment deliveries due to external factors that may impact our delivery schedules. Nevertheless, we will always do our best to accommodate your needs and ensure timely delivery.
-
I told you the actual address at time of quoting; why did you not tell me it was limited access?
We are proud to use cutting-edge technology to deliver prompt quotes for our customers. By using origin and destination cities and states, we aim to provide you with a fast and accurate quote. However, to ensure we are fully informed of any specific requirements, it would be extremely helpful if you could share any relevant information regarding limited access locations when you request a quote. This will help us to personalize your quote and provide the best service possible.
-
I have a business operating from my home and I have a GST number; why am I charged a Private Residence delivery fee?
To provide top-notch service to our residential customers, we incur additional charges for the use of specialized equipment such as straight trucks with tailgate services. This helps us maintain the quality of our operations in these challenging environments.
-
Why would I need a tailgate?
Tailgate service is provided when a customer's location lacks a dock or adequate equipment for loading and unloading freight, making it necessary to use additional equipment to efficiently handle the shipment.
-
Why wasn’t I notified of an extra charge? Why can’t I approve it before you use it?
We make every effort to keep you informed of all charges related to your shipment. However, sometimes unexpected requirements arise at the last minute and it may not be possible for us to notify you beforehand. For instance, if a tailgate service is not specified during the quote or in the transport agreement sent to Moto before dispatch, the drivers may not be aware of this requirement until they reach the delivery/pickup location. In case the location lacks proper offloading facilities or the consignee requests a tailgate service, it will be charged as per Moto Transportation Terms and Conditions.
-
What is a Call Ahead fee?
We understand the importance of timely delivery and pickup of your freight, which is why we offer the option of a call ahead for pick up or delivery at a small fee. This ensures that someone is on site to receive or ship your freight when our driver arrives, avoiding any potential delays and ensuring a smooth and seamless experience for you.
-
Why is your detention so high? Most carriers only charge $50 per hour. Why don’t you allow 2 hours of free detention time?
We are an LTL carrier that operates on an hourly pay for our drivers and have multiple pickups and deliveries for each truck to meet our customers' demands. Due to the strict appointment schedules and the recent ELD mandates that limit the daily working hours of our drivers, delays can result in additional costs and penalties.
-
Why are you charging me to use my US Bond?
We charge a fee for handling your bond to guarantee its proper cancellation upon crossing into Canada. This covers an extra stop for our driver and monitoring by our operations team. Trust us to handle your bond with care, so you don't have to worry about any potential issues with an uncancelled bond entering Canada.
-
I do not need a tailgate with my Residential Pickup/Delivery why can’t you reduce the fee?
Using a tailgate service during a residential pickup or delivery may incur a fee, but it ensures timely completion and reduces the risk of injury or damage to freight, making it a cost-effective solution in the long run.
-
Why am I being charged for not providing customs docs?
To ensure a smooth and hassle-free border crossing for your shipment, it's essential to have the proper documentation in place. By providing the necessary paperwork at the time of booking, you can avoid any potential delays, customs holds, or seizures at the border. Our operations team is here to support you and help streamline the process, so please don't hesitate to reach out with any questions or concerns. By working together, we can ensure the successful and timely delivery of your shipment.
