Accessorials as percent of total freight

Definition

Calculated by dividing accessorial and surcharges by total freight expenditures for the period. Many freight carriers will charge extra fees for trailer detention/demurrage, re-delivery, fuel increases, and other expenses or extra services. Often, these are extra costs incurred due to inefficient processes.
