The most common outcome drivers during a claim review for specialized LTL or heavy-bulky freight shipments are:
- Documentation quality
- Timelines of reporting
- Packaging adequacy
- Proof-of-delivery notes
- Clarity of shipment identifiers
- Service scope
- Shipment handling history
- Terms governing liability
Poor documentation and poor packaging are among the biggest preventable failure points. Also, do note that damage alone does not guarantee recovery if the required evidence or conditions are not met.
