Before loading your vehicle, you and the trucker carefully inspect your vehicle for pre-existing scratches, dents and other damage.
At the time of delivery, the truck driver must allow you to carefully inspect your vehicle again.
On the bill of lading form there is an image of the vehicle. The truck driver marks all pre-existing damages in the correct area of the image.
If there are any NEW scratches, dents or other damages to your vehicle you MUST mark them on the bill of lading in the proper area of the image and write down in the field for exceptions/comments an exact description of the NEW damage. Just as at pickup, taking pictures at delivery, especially if there is new damage, is highly recommended.
It is highly recommended to tell the truck driver to record the current mileage of your vehicle’s odometer. It’s also highly recommended to take several pictures of the vehicle at pickup and again at delivery.
Only AFTER the inspection, both the truck driver and you should sign the document and each must keep a copy of it.

After the inspection, if there is a balance due for your shipment, legally you still must pay the trucker even if there is an issue with the vehicle. An insurance claim and payment of freight charges are two entirely different transactions.
If you disagree with what the truck driver is marking, please call Montway for assistance at the time of pickup. Our number is easy to remember, 1-888-MONTWAY.
