The TSA Program carrier accessorial should be selected when you want to only display carriers that have a TSA program security program. This is applicable for the US market only and not required in Europe or Canada. Not all carriers offer this service. IF you select the accessorial at time of quote carriers not offering the service will not be shown as an option. This is not to be confused with the airline deliver or airline pickup accessorial which would provide you with options and the associated fees for trucking companies that deliver or pick up from the airlines facility. Additionally, it’s important to note that this accessorial is only applicable for domestic trucking moves only. IF you are booking airfreight you do not need to select this option. You will still be required to follow TSA reporting and filing rules. ExFreight nor the carrier will be responsible for any fines or penalties incurred due to improper reporting or filing with the TSA. Please check with your TSA security coordinator to ensure you have the carrier set up properly in your system before using them. If you require documents to be provided to the driver before pick up or delivery you can email them to ops@exfreight.com and we will forward them to the driver. Lead times for pickups from airlines are longer as the drivers leave in the AM with any required paperwork for that day so a same day pick up is not always available. Original documents may be lost in transit and we recommend they are couriered directly to the airline ahead of time. We highly recommend the use of transfer agents who specialize in airport/airline pickups and use national trucking carriers to either pick up from the transfer carriers dock or deliver to the transfer carriers dock. National trucking carrier deliveries or pickups directly from airline facilities are unreliable due to the high wait times and complicated paperwork required at these facilities.
