Accessorial Charges

Accessorial charges are supplemental charges assessed to your freight in addition to the base transportation costs. 

The term ‘Accessorial’ refers to a particular service or condition other than the basic transportation, which is usually described in the Tariff Rule and for which a charge may be added.  These may include driver detention, additional labour and storage charges.

For current accessorial charge rates, please consult your Elgin Motor Freight Customer Service Representative.
