Lift Gate Required

A lift gate is a platform at the rear of the truck that is used for loading and unloading freight at locations without docks or forklifts.

If your freight is picking up or delivering to a location that does not have a way of getting the freight on/off the truck, select this option. This will most often include residential addresses, construction sites, schools, and businesses that are not warehouses.

Be sure to check the needs of the pickup and drop-off locations (before booking) to see if they require lift gate services to avoid any additional charges or delays.

If you choose a Residential Area as your location, our system will automatically select a Lift gate for you, as people typically do not have a way to load or unload the freight from the truck at their residences. If you do have a way to do this, you can always uncheck this box.
