Dark Hours, Bright Solutions: Ensuring Safe Car Shipping

There are different situations. However, we do not recommend handing over or getting the car at night, and that's why. Let's look at some examples:

1. You have sold the car and are shipping it to a new owner in another state. You know all her external defects and do not attach importance to them. The driver may not notice any dent at dusk or a scratch. He will not mark it in the documentation and the photos. When inspecting the car at the delivery point, the new owner will see the scratch. Since it will not be visible in the general images of the seller and from the pickup point report, the recipient will blame the damage on the driver. Then the impression of the transport company's activities will be spoiled, not to mention additional phone calls from the office, which also take time and nerves. At the same time, the driver will not only lose time and be late for the next delivery but also pay a fine for damage, which he did not do and he just did not notice in the dark. 
   

2. You move and order the car shipping. You are sure it is in excellent condition, so calmly sign the transfer certificate with the driver. As in the first case, the driver did not notice one shallow scratch in the dark. From our experience, we know that sometimes the owners only know what damage is on their car once you point your finger at it. When the vehicle arrives, you will scrutinize it. Much more carefully than at the pickup point. You'll notice this scratch and think it's new because you know your car well. Everything is similar to point 1: loss of time, nerves, and material losses for the driver for not fixing this scratch in the photo, although he did all the work perfectly.
   

3. The car was damaged during car hauling. As a customer, you won't notice the scratch in the dark. You need to figure out exactly where to look. After signing the delivery inspection, it is unlikely that you will receive compensation from the carrier. An unpleasant surprise will be waiting for you in the morning.
   

If your car is scheduled for pickup in the evening, it's wise to take proactive steps. A day before the shipment, capture detailed photos of every aspect of the vehicle in daylight. Share these photos with the transport company's office, ensuring both parties have comprehensive documentation in case of any disputes at the delivery point.

Also, the driver must have a powerful flashlight with him, which will illuminate the car well during the inspection. Palm-sized portable construction lights are well suited. The phone's flashlight doesn't help much. If you have something similar, feel free to use it.
