Freight companies such as FedEx Freight,
UPS freight-service providers, and other
trucking carriers may designate certain
delivery locations as limited access.
These locations may involve restricted
entry, security procedures, limited
operating hours, difficult truck access,
or other special delivery conditions.
Common examples include:
Examples of Limited-Access Locations
Camps, campgrounds and RV parks
Cemeteries and memorial parks
Construction sites and active job sites
Daycare centers and preschools
Fairgrounds, event sites and exhibition grounds
Farms, ranches and private estates
Golf courses and country clubs
Hospitals, medical centers and urgent care facilities
Hotels, lodges and resorts when designated by the carrier
Military bases and secured government facilities
Mines, quarries and extraction facilities
Nuclear power plants and power generation facilities
Nursing homes and assisted living facilities
Public parks, state parks and national parks
Churches, mosques, temples and other places of worship
Prisons, jails and detention centers
Schools, colleges and universities
Self-storage and mini-storage warehouses
Ski resorts and recreational facilities
Utility facilities and secured infrastructure sites
Vineyards and wineries
Water treatment plants and wastewater facilities
Businesses with restricted entry,
security checkpoints or special
delivery appointment requirements
Commercial facilities not open to
walk-in customers during normal business hours
Important:
These are examples of locations that
freight carriers may classify as
limited access, not a complete or
universal carrier list.
Each carrier has its own classification
rules and service tariffs.
A commercial business with a forklift
or loading dock may still be classified
as limited access and incur
additional charges.
Having unloading equipment does not
override the carrier's location
classification.
