Secure Shipping Documentation

Ensure a smooth and professional shipping experience with our official Bill of Lading service. This essential legal document outlines the details of your car transport, confirms carrier responsibility, and protects your vehicle during transit.

Importance of the Bill of Lading

A Bill of Lading (BOL) is your car's detailed travel itinerary and ultimate insurance shield. Think of it like a passport for your vehicle, documenting its journey and protecting it every step of the way.

MORE THAN JUST A RECEIPT
Yes, the BOL acts as a receipt, exchanged at pickup and delivery. But it's so much more. It's like a detailed journal of your car's adventure, recording:

• Vehicle specifics: Make, model, color, mileage – it's your car's identity card.

• Shipping details: From pick-up and drop-off points to dates and times, it maps the whole route.

• Existing damage: Before the journey begins, any scratches, dents, or quirks get meticulously noted. Think of it like taking a pre-road trip car selfie – capturing its starting state.

• New mishaps (if any): If heaven forbid, anything happens during transport, it gets documented right there. No more "he said, she said" – the BOL tells the whole story.

WHY THIS MATTERS
This detailed record-keeping power makes the BOL your strongest ally in case of anything unfortunate. Need to file an insurance claim? The BOL is your witness, proving what happened and protecting your car's value. It's like having an affidavit from the road itself, ensuring you get fairly compensated if things go south.

The Procedure for Pickup and Delivery

AT PICKUP

INSPECTING LIKE A DETECTIVE
Grab the truck driver and become Sherlock Holmes, carefully examining your car for any pre-existing scratches, dents, or battle scars it might have earned. These detectives don't use magnifying glasses — they have a special form with a picture of your car, ready to mark any existing damage in the right spot.

MILEAGE MATTERS
Don't let the odometer be a mystery! Make sure the driver records the current mileage, giving you a clear starting point for your car's adventure. Think of it like logging your flight distance — it helps track the journey.

PHOTOGRAPHIC PROOF
Pictures are worth a thousand words, especially when it comes to car shipping. Snap a few photos of your car at pickup, capturing its pre-departure state. And when it arrives at its destination, repeat the process – it's like taking a before-and-after selfie of your car's journey.

SIGN ON THE DOTTED LINE
Once everything's checked and documented, it's time for the official seal of approval. Both you and the driver sign the Bill of Lading — think of it as your car's passport, stamped for its grand voyage. Remember, each of you keeps a copy, so you're both in the loop.

FRIENDLY REMINDERS
If something doesn't look right during the inspection, don't hesitate to call The Ove Transport at (855) 723-3200. We're like your car shipping hotline, ready to assist you every step of the way.

AT DELIVERY

INSPECT LIKE A HAWK
Remember that pre-pickup detective work? Dust off your magnifying glass (aka, your keen eyes) and carefully inspect your car again. Did any new bumps or bruises appear during the journey? If so, grab that Bill of Lading — its picture of your car is like a map. Just mark the new damage in the right spot. And don't forget the "exceptions/comments" section — write down a detailed description, like a witness report for your car.

PHOTO FINISH
Just like capturing that perfect vacation pic, take some photos upon delivery. They're like receipts for your eyes, especially if something untoward happened.

SIGN ON THE DOTTED LINE (AGAIN)
Once everything's inspected and documented, it's signature time. Both you and the driver sign the Bill of Lading, sealing the car's travelogue. Remember, each of you keeps a copy, so you both have a record of the journey.

IMPORTANT REMINDER
Even if you find some new nicks, legally, you still need to pay the trucker for the transportation. Think of it like paying for your flight even if your luggage gets delayed. It's two separate things – car shipping and insurance claims.
