Types of Freight Claims with Dart Transit Co.
When you choose Dart Transit Co. to ship your package, you expect it to arrive safely and on time. But sometimes unexpected things happen, and you may need to file a claim. A freight claim requests reimbursement if your shipment is lost, damaged, or delayed. Let’s look at the different types of freight claims you might encounter when using Dart Transit Co. for shipping.
The first type is damage claims, which happen most often. If your shipment arrives with broken or damaged items, you should file a damage claim with Dart Transit Co. It’s important to check your items carefully when they arrive and take pictures of any damage as proof that it happened during shipping.
The second type is loss claims. This type of claim is filed when your shipment doesn’t arrive or is delivered to the wrong place. If you’re waiting for your items and they don’t show up, you should file a loss claim with Dart Transit Co. to get compensation for the missing items.

If your shipment arrives much later than expected and causes problems or losses for you, you can file a delay claim with Dart Transit Co. But remember that not all shipping services guarantee delivery times, so whether you can file a delay claim depends on the specific terms of your shipping agreement with Dart Transit Co.

This includes taking pictures of your items before and after shipping, keeping track of all shipping documents, and reporting any issues as soon as possible.
