  • Any article that is encased in an outside shipping container made of metal or wood.
  • Any cylindrical item, such as a barrel, drum, pail or tire that is not fully encased in a corrugated cardboard shipping container.
  • Any package with the longest side exceeding 60 inches or its second-longest side exceeding 30 inches.

Delivery Area Surcharge

The OnTrac Service Area includes all of California and the major metropolitan areas of Arizona, Nevada, Oregon, Washington and Utah. Some of the ZIP Codes we service are less populated or less accessible than others and carry a higher operating cost. The Delivery Area Surcharge is assessed to offset the cost of providing service to these select areas. Click here for a list of ZIP Codes that will be subject to the Delivery Area Surcharge.

Large Package Surcharge

A Large Package Surcharge will be applied to each package when its length plus girth (2*(width+height)) combined exceeds 130 inches, but does not exceed the maximum size of 165 inches. Large packages are subject to a minimum billable weight of 90 lbs. in addition to the Large Package Surcharge. An Additional Handling Fee will not be assessed when a Large Package Surcharge is applied.

Residential Delivery Fee

A Residential Delivery Fee applies to shipments to a home or private residence, including locations where a business is operated from a home. OnTrac determines the residential or commercial status of an address by the data gathered and provided by Experian QAS, a global information services company.
