Get to know the role of lumper services in trucking! Lumper services involve third-party workers who handle the loading or unloading of freight at warehouses and distribution centers. These workers, called lumpers, are essential for labor-intensive loads like floor-loaded trailers or mixed freight. As a dispatcher, it's crucial to ensure that brokers are aware of potential lumper fees and are prepared to cover these costs. Lumper services can impact load planning, scheduling, driver hours, and delivery times, so factor in the extra time at docks to avoid delays or service violations.
