Most companies’ auto shipping industry is being regulated by the Motor Carrier Division of the Department of Transportation, and they mandate insurance as a requirement for carriers shipping vehicles. A minimum of $250,000 cargo and $750,000 liability insurance coverage is required. An inspection will be conducted at pick-up where the driver will have a form together with a picture of a vehicle and keep a record of all dents, scratches, and dings on the car.
Your driver and pick-up person will both sign the paper, and then you and your driver will hold a copy of the document. The same document will be presented to you or the person receiving the auto shipping during delivery.
They are to note any new dings, dents, or scratches on the vehicle and placed on a damage claim, which must be indicated on that document at delivery and duly signed by the two parties.
