Pre-Pull Charges

Pre-Pull Charges occur when a shipper cannot accept the delivery before the last available free day. The term “free day” refers to the last remaining day in which the cargo transportation does not accrue additional charges. 

The same would apply if the shipment comes in before a weekend or a holiday and the shipper cannot accept it until the following Monday. This will cause a pre-pull charge, about one-third of the cost of paying total storage fees on average.

Holding onto freight prevents drivers from picking up new loads, so pre-pull charges are one of the ways they make up for the missed opportunities.
