What is delivery notification?

The delivery notification accessorial should be selected when you require the driver to call before delivery or pick up. It is not to be confused with the appointment accessorial which would schedule a specific delivery or pickup time. When the delivery notification accessorial is selected the driver or dispatcher will call prior to delivery or pickup of the freight. IF you select the accessorial at the time of quoting the fee will be added to the rate quote. IF you book your shipment without selecting the accessorial and the fee does apply you will be additionally billed for the service. If you add to special instructions or bill of lading anything to the effect of “Call before delivery” the delivery notification accessorial will be incurred.
