Which of the following are common accessorial types in AscendTMS?

• A. Detention, Waiting Time, Inside Delivery
• B. Fuel surcharge
• C. Insurance
• D. Driver meals

Answer: (A)

Accessorial types are extra services that go beyond the basic pickup and delivery and carry separate charges. Detention, waiting time, and inside delivery are classic examples because each represents a service the carrier performs beyond simply delivering goods: detention is the charge when the driver is held beyond the scheduled loading/unloading time, waiting time covers time spent waiting, and inside delivery means the carrier must bring goods into the interior of the receiving location. These are commonly configured and tracked in AscendTMS to itemize additional service costs. The other options—fuel surcharge, insurance, and driver meals—are not treated as typical accessorial categories in this context: fuel surcharge is a price adjustment tied to fuel costs, insurance is coverage, and driver meals aren’t standard add-on services billed as accessorials.
