What is the fee charged when a carrier touches the freight during loading/unloading?

• A. Tarp Pay
• B. Load/Unload Pay
• C. Accessorial Pay
• D. Claim

Answer: (B)

When a carrier physically handles the freight during loading or unloading, the payment for that extra service is called Load/Unload Pay. This fee specifically compensates for the labor and time required to move the cargo, separate from the base driving rate. Tarp Pay would cover tarping the load, not handling it. Accessorial Pay is the broader category of any additional charges for services beyond standard hauling, which can include load/unload, lumper fees, detentions, and more; but the specific charge for touching and moving the freight during loading or unloading is Load/Unload Pay. A claim is unrelated to this fee, as it concerns damages or loss.
