Types of Freight Claims with Peninsula Truck Lines
If you send something with Peninsula Truck Lines, you want it to get there safely and on time. But sometimes, things don’t go as planned, and you may need to file a claim with Peninsula Truck Lines. A claim is a way to ask for your money back if your shipment is lost, damaged, or delayed. Let’s talk about the different kinds of claims you might have with Peninsula Truck Lines.
The most common type of claim is called a “damage claim.” This happens when your shipment arrives, and the items inside are either broken or not in the expected condition.

On the other hand, if some of your things arrive but not everything, you can file a shortage claim. For instance, if you were supposed to get 10 boxes but only 9 arrived, you can file a shortage claim for the missing box.
Sometimes, when you ship something, it might arrive later than expected. This is called a transit time claim. It’s not very common, and it’s about something other than the condition of the shipment but rather about the timing of when it arrives. If it comes later than promised and this delay causes a problem or loss for you, you may file a delay claim. However, it’s essential to know that not all shipping services guarantee delivery times, so it depends on the details of your shipping agreement with Peninsula Truck Lines.
If you need to file a claim with Peninsula Truck Lines, make sure you do it fast and keep good records of everything you shipped. Take pictures of your items before and after shipping, keep all your shipping papers, and tell them about any problems right away. Filing a claim might seem like a lot of work, but it’s important to do so you can protect yourself and get paid back if something goes wrong with your shipment.
