Common questions

How many accessorial codes does Forward Air have?

Forward Air publishes 50 accessorial codes across pickup, delivery and shipment-level services. Each one is listed with the service it maps to and the source the value was read from.

What is the Forward Air liftgate code?

Forward Air uses LGD for liftgate delivery, sent in the DeliveryAccessorials field. Other carriers spell the same service differently, so the code is only valid for Forward Air.

What is the Forward Air residential delivery code?

Forward Air uses RDE for residential delivery. Residential surcharges apply to any address the carrier classifies as non-commercial, which can include home businesses.

Are there limits on Forward Air accessorial codes?

Codes are side-locked: LGD is delivery-only and LGP pickup-only. Sending one on the wrong side is rejected.

Is this the complete Forward Air accessorial code list?

Forward serves its code list from an accessorialcodes endpoint and advises syncing periodically. The codes here are a documentation snapshot.

Is the Forward Air accessorial code list free to use?

Yes. The lookup is free with no signup, and the same data is available from the /api/accessorials REST endpoint on every plan including the free tier.

Need this programmatically? /api/accessorials/carrier/forward returns the same data as JSON on every plan.
