Questions

FAQs

What does a broker need to reimburse a lumper fee?

Usually the lumper receipt, the signed BOL, and proof the broker approved the fee before it was paid. Check your rate confirmation for the exact terms.

What if the lumper was not pre-approved?

Send the request anyway with the receipt and an explanation, but expect pushback. Ask for approval before paying next time.

Should I send it separately or with the invoice?

Most brokers prefer it on the load invoice. Follow the instructions in the rate confirmation.
