Posted July 21, 2022 - 4:30pm
All Forward Air terminals and hub operations in the U.S. will be closed on Monday, July 4, 2022 in observance of the Independence Day holiday. View Schedule.
Due to current volatility within our macro environment and supply chain compression, Forward will continue our current CAP and 2KM surcharges. This will enable us to maintain capacity and help us deliver on our expedited LTL service commitments for our customers.
Effective May 2, 2022, we are implementing minor changes to tender cutoff, recovery, or transit days in certain markets. These changes will not impact our current door to door schedules. A complete list of service schedule adjustments is available here.

Beginning January 3, 2022, the Forward LTL Premier Booking process will automatically alert you when residential or liftgate services are required. API & EDI customers will default to and receive these accessorial charges automatically if not previously selected. The API & EDI residential default will be seen as Residential Delivery-Will Call for Appointment accessorial. Please contact your sales representative if you have any questions regarding these new enhancements.
We are implementing a general rate increase averaging 7.9% to any shipments tendered on or after February 1, 2022. Distribution-related quotes will be excluded from the general rate increase. A complete and updated list of changes to rates, fees and surcharges is available here.
Thank you Drivers, a message from Tom Schmitt, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer
Based on demand and overall macro supply chain outlook, we anticipate an even greater reliance on our expedited industry during peak season. As a result, Forward will make modifications to some select schedules, pickup and delivery services, commodities accepted, surcharges and rates during the upcoming months to protect the service integrity of our expedited network. These steps are intended to support our customers during this high demand, low-capacity time period. A complete listing of these modifications can be accessed here.
