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 Covenant Logistics Group immediately to report damages (not your third-party logistics service provider).
Don’t throw anything away. If Covenant Logistics Group 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 carriers 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.
