What to do when freight damage is found

  • Thoroughly inspect the integrity of the external packaging

  • If external packaging, shrink wrap etc. is not intact, record any damages on the Bill of Lading (BOL) or Proof of Delivery Receipt (POD).

  • Take photographs of any external packaging damage and product damage.

  • Contact PGT Trucking immediately to report damages (not your third-party logistics service provider).

  • Don’t throw anything away. If PGT Trucking inspects the product, they will use this to determine if the damage to the product is consistent with damage to containers.

  • Note: For concealed damage, most carrier have a 5-day deadline from the delivery date to file any damage claims. If you find damages after the delivery of your product, follow the same protocol above within those 5 days.
