LTL Shipments
There are many rules governing truck shipments, some key points include:
- Delivery area must be accessible to the truck
- Areas other than standard loading docks should be discussed prior to booking
- Unloading and moving load is your responsibility (trucking companies don't require their drivers to unload shipments).
- Inspect all packages before signing (damages/shortages must be noted on BOL at time of delivery), retain a signed copy for your records.
