The dispatcher I worked through told me that as long as the truck could easily get in the drive and had room to turn around without the driver having to jockey around there would not be an extra charge for a farm pick up
So I take that to read there was a upcharge but we are not going to charge you it if we can get in and out of there with limited delay.
Pretty much how we do it today. We show up and you are ready to go; help us load or unload; and we do not even worry about writing farm on the bill.
On the other hand we get there and have to wait for you to band it; you have no loader so we have to man handle it; or worse you are not even there cause you feel your wife can handle it and all she does is stands there and points. Guess what.... You just got the upcharge.
We see the last one all the time with residential deliveries. They order something off the internet to save $20; the wife is the only one home when we get there; the piece ordered is 200 lbs; and they think we will unload by our self and put it in the back yard on top of that. Guess what that $20 internet savings just cost you over $100 in upcharges.
The one that really gets me is you go to a school; church; rich house; ect; and there are several able bodied men at the location but none will help you. They look at you like that manual labor is beneath them. That's when I leave with their stuff if I can work around it. Then it gets appointment charge so we can come when someone is there to help us; redelivery charges; and maybe even lift gate charges.
