A “residential delivery fee” is an additional charge imposed by a trucker or carrier when delivering goods to a residential address instead of a commercial or business location. This fee accounts for the additional time, effort, and resources required to navigate residential areas, handle individual households, and accommodate specific delivery requirements. In addition to the residential delivery fee, other costs may be associated with residential deliveries, such as accessorial fees for services like liftgate usage, inside delivery, or delivery appointments. These extra charges reflect the unique challenges and considerations involved in delivering to residential areas, ensuring that the carrier is adequately compensated for the added complexities compared to standard commercial deliveries.
