For decades, LTL carriers have maintained rules tariffs filled with extra shipping charges. But once upon a time, those documents were just one or two pages long. Now, they’re at least 70. And the accessorial charges within them are accounting for more and more of shippers’ total spend – averaging nearly 9% in 2023.
In this white paper, AFS Logistics uses its original analysis of $1.2 billion in LTL spend to provide a quantitative view of this trend and examines:
- The evolution of rules tariffs and accessorials
- The impacts of resulting charges
- How shippers can manage rising costs
