Dry Run

A dry run happens when a carrier arrives at the pickup location and is unable to receive the freight for reasons beyond his or her control. Some common reasons for dry runs include:

• Pick-up location hours were listed incorrectly.

• The pick-up address was incorrect.

• Nobody was available to receive the carrier for pick-up, or the freight was not ready for pick-up within 30 minutes of the carrier's arrival.

• More freight is given than listed on BOL and the carrier is unable to fit or would be prevented from taking additional pickups as a result.

• A port is too congested for the carrier to make the pickup in a timely manner.

Dry run fees for integrated shipments vary by carrier.
