An added pickup location beyond the original pickup plan.
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 pickup changes the origin side of the load and may create more appointment, paperwork, and cargo-control risk.
When it applies
- A second or later pickup is added after the original booking.
- The added pickup changes route miles, loading time, weight distribution, paperwork, or seal handling.
- 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 pickup pay, exact pickup address, appointment time, commodity, weight, and stop sequence.
- Whether each pickup has separate detention or driver-assist terms.
- 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
- BOL or pickup paperwork for each origin, timestamps, seal notes, and revised instructions.
- Written approval showing the added pickup was part of the booked load.
- 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
- Confirm the extra pickup before dispatching into the first stop.
- Ask whether the added origin changes total miles, delivery appointment, or accessorial exposure.
- 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 pickup address, appointment, extra-pickup pay, and revised delivery expectations before dispatch continues.
