2) Agent will be sending you an email with your estimated pickup and delivery dates once we have your vehicle assigned. All dates are approximations and not guarantees. There are many causes that can affect dates (i.e. Weather, traffic delays, road conditions, etc.). The carrier should call 8-12 hours in advance to make arrangements for a time to pickup and deliver the vehicle. In addition, the carrier and the person responsible for the vehicle will complete a thorough inspection of the vehicle and that it’s ready for shipment. (This is still the shipper responsibility)  The carrier will have an inspection sheet that they will have you sign.

If the vehicle and person responsible are not present at the time the vehicle was scheduled for pickup, the deposit will not be refunded.

5) Insurance: The carrier is fully insured, and is responsible for the vehicle while in the carrier’s possession. LM shipping and its agents will not be responsible for vandalism, acts of God (flooding, hail, sand storm, earthquakes, tornadoes, fire) or objects flying from the road during transport. Shippers should maintain their own insurance for these reasons. If there were to be unfortunate damage to your vehicle (not including items listed above and in the liability

Disclaimer) we have your carrier’s insurance information on file and will help you with the claim process. We do a license, insurance, and bond check on all of our carriers. The shipper is responsible for completing the Pre-Transport Checklist before transport in order to avoid any possible problems with the vehicle. Vehicle must be insured during transit, any claims arising out of failure to have insurance will be absorb by the customer, not the agent or carrier. If vehicle is stated as inoperative/salvage, it is customer’s responsibility to absorb any loss if vehicle has no insurance

6) If damage should occur, all moneys owed to the carrier must be paid to initiate the claim. Damage must be noted on the Bill of Lading, and signed by the driver and shipper, regardless of weather, or time of day. Signing the Bill of Lading without any notation of damage verifies that shipper or its agent has received the vehicle in good condition, and that its agents are relieved of any further responsibility. Please check your vehicle thoroughly. ICC authority states that all tariffs be paid in full for the transport before a claim can be processed.

7) Any claim or controversy arising from or relating to this agreement, or the performance or breach thereof, shall be subject to the jurisdiction of Columbia County, Grovetown, GA. Shipper specifically waives any right to have this matter resolved in any other county or location. Agent can only be liable for up to the amount of the deposit amount already paid to Agent. Agent will support you in this effort should such a problem occur, but in no way will Agent accept responsibility for any negligence of the assigned carrier. Agent will provide carriers insurance and carrier information should any controversy arise.

8) Non-operable vehicles: A $150.00 INOP fee is applied to all vehicles not in operating condition. This fee is included when your quote is given, provided we had this information. If the vehicle is not operable at the time of pick-up and was not included in the quote, additional fees may apply. Additionally, if your vehicle becomes inoperable during transport, $150 will be due at the time of delivery in addition to the amount quoted. It is shipper’s responsibility to make sure vehicle is in the proper working order unless previously stated inoperative. We can sometimes get the carrier to work with unforeseen things such as dead batteries, flat tires, for a small fee
