Common questions

Which carriers support liftgate delivery?

21 carriers publish a code for liftgate delivery, and a further 3 support it through a request field rather than a code. Hydraulic liftgate needed at the destination because there is no dock or ramp to unload to.

Is there a standard liftgate delivery code across carriers?

No. Each carrier defines its own code, so the same service is spelled differently at every carrier you integrate with — AAA Cooper uses LGD, ABF Freight uses Acc_GRD_DEL, AIT Worldwide Logistics uses LFGTD, Banyan Technology uses CLFTG. A code is only meaningful together with the carrier it belongs to.

Need this programmatically? /api/accessorials/map?service=liftgate-delivery returns the same data as JSON on every plan.
