Updated 2026-06-04

Written and reviewed by LaneMath Editorial Team, with carrier workflow review from Dale Morrow where practical dispatch, paperwork, or lane-planning context is involved. Updated 2026-06-04. LaneMath pages use public references, example-only math, and conservative editorial review.

Carrier context

An extra delivery creates receiver-side complexity because freight may be split, appointments may differ, and proof of delivery may need separate records.

When it applies

  • A second or later delivery location is added beyond the original delivery plan.
  • The added delivery changes routing, unload time, receiver requirements, or final paperwork.
  • The event is tied to the load and is outside the basic linehaul move.
  • The broker, shipper, or receiver instructions create extra time, labor, mileage, or out-of-pocket cost.
  • The rate confirmation or written approval gives a path for requesting the charge.

What to check on the rate confirmation

  • Extra delivery pay, delivery sequence, addresses, appointment windows, and whether each receiver has separate delay terms.
  • Whether the charge includes mileage only or also unloading and paperwork time.
  • Whether the charge is already included in the all-in rate.
  • Free time, approval process, dollar amount, and documentation requirements.
  • Who must approve the charge and whether a revised confirmation is required.

Common documentation

  • POD for each delivery, receiver signatures, timestamps, shortage notes, and revised confirmation.
  • Messages showing when the added delivery was approved.
  • Arrival and departure times when time is part of the request.
  • Receipts, signed paperwork, gate records, emails, or text approvals.
  • POD, BOL, revised confirmation, and invoice notes.

Negotiation notes

  • Price the added delivery before leaving the prior stop.
  • Ask whether partial delivery or split paperwork changes billing requirements.
  • Ask before the cost is incurred when possible.
  • Keep the request factual and tied to written load terms.
  • Do not assume approval from a phone conversation; request written confirmation.

Example wording

Please confirm the added delivery address, delivery sequence, extra-delivery pay, and documents required for each POD.
