# Special Delivery Fee

A special delivery fee is charged by a trucker for a delivery outside of their normal service parameters, such as an after-hours delivery or delivery to a destination they don't typically service.

## What is a special delivery fee?

A special delivery fee is assessed when a trucker completes a delivery outside of their typical service parameters -- for example, making a delivery outside of normal hours, or delivering to an area they don’t normally service.

If applicable, a special delivery fee will appear on your Flexport quote or invoice as a destination charge.
