ABF | Weekend/holiday dilivery/pickup charge?
- Thread starter little d
- Start date
I don't think there is an extra charge unless the freight is Timekeeper which would be a higher rate. I don't know of very much freight that is picked up or delivered on holidays. If a customer requested a pickup or delivery on a holiday I think that would be premiun service. The extra cost of paying holiday pay is the reason not many work holidays. There is usually a few working at larger terminals on some holidays to keep the freight moving.

There are definitely weekend/holiday rates in place but they can be waived.
