The short answer
Limited access is a carrier tariff category for locations where ordinary freight pickup or delivery is restricted or operationally different from a normal commercial dock.
Do these first
Tell me what kind of site it is.
- Name the facility type — school, construction site, storage unit, farm or secure facility.
- Describe access — gate, security, hours, roads and truck-size limits.
- Describe unloading — dock, forklift, liftgate or ground delivery.
Carrier lists are different
TForce Freight lists examples including houses of worship, construction sites, fairs, farms, mini-storage, military installations, mines, national parks, oil fields, prisons and schools without loading docks.
XPO's published tariff for the referenced service area uses a different list including shopping malls, mini-storage units, military bases, schools and churches.
That difference is the point: there is no single universal list.
