What is a Beyond Area?
A Beyond Area is a pickup or delivery location that falls outside a carrier’s standard service zone. While carriers can still reach these locations, they often require:
- Additional miles of travel
- Extra time and fuel
- Special routing outside their normal network
Common Beyond Area Examples:
- Rural towns or remote communities
- Locations far from major highways or freight terminals
- Certain industrial sites or farms in less populated areas
In some cases, carriers rely on partner networks or “interline” carriers for Beyond Area pickups and deliveries – which can add extra steps, time, and complexity.
At MLD, we plan ahead to minimize those handoffs and keep your freight on track.
