Redelivery accessorial explained
A second delivery attempt or revised delivery after the first delivery cannot be completed.
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
Redelivery is usually caused by failed receiving, rejected freight, missed facility requirements, or a changed delivery instruction.
When it applies
- The first delivery attempt cannot be completed and the truck must return or deliver elsewhere.
- The cause is receiver availability, paperwork, rejected product, appointment change, or broker instruction.
- 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
- Redelivery amount, mileage basis, waiting terms, storage exposure, and who controls the revised appointment.
- Whether redelivery also triggers layover, detention, or stop-off pay.
- 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
- Failed delivery note, receiver refusal or closure record, revised appointment, POD attempt, and broker instructions.
- Photos or paperwork notes if freight condition or shortage is part of the issue.
- 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
- Do not move to a second delivery plan without written instructions.
- Separate redelivery miles from waiting time so the request is easier to review.
- 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 redelivery instructions, approved charge, revised appointment, and whether waiting or layover should be handled separately.
