I thought I had seen some high lumper fees before, but this morning I set a new record for loads I've hauled. DPI Special Foods in Portland Oregon. A reefer load of ice cream, lumper fees $1,002.00. My jaw dropped when he told me the amount. This is a Convoy load, and they're taking forever getting me a check code, probably because they feel ripped off.
What's everybody's personal high amount?

Warehouses, especially food warehouses, jack up lumper fees in order to help cover shipping costs and thus increase profits.

Nothing that high on a one and one but a lot of the LTL loads are running way over 1K.

With this covid mess they’re in a position to charge what they want. My last stop before I parked the truck charged $180 for 5 pallets. I would have charged $50,but wasn’t allowed on the dock.

1000 dollars? Good God man.....I've never seen a lumper fee larger than 400 dollars. If the lumper is through Capstone, they eat people alive.

In the case of this load, Nestle was the shipper and scheduled the load. If I were them, I would refuse future loads until they bring their lumper fees back in line. That's just plain old gouging.

I was at USF fairburn ga. A lumper was training a new guy and they opened the door next to me, and the “trainer “ said this one will have 5-6 restacks. I looked in the trailer and everything looked perfect. They were just going to jack up the fees.nredfor88, TheLoadOut and Coffey Thank this. -
