Types of Freight Claims with Hirschbach Motor Lines
When you choose Hirschbach Motor Lines to ship your freight, 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 Hirschbach Motor Lines 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 Hirschbach. It’s very important to check your items carefully when they arrive and take pictures of any damage as evidence that it happened during transit.
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 Hirshbach to get compensation for the missing items.
Shortage claims are the third type. These claims differ from loss claims and are made when only part of your shipment arrives. For example, if you were supposed to get 20 boxes but only 19 were delivered, you should file a shortage claim for the missing box.
The last type of claim is a delay claim. These claims are less common and are related to the timing of your shipment rather than its condition. If your shipment arrives much later than expected and causes problems or losses for you, you can file a delay claim with Hirshbach Motor Lines. But remember, 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 the carrier.
No matter the claim you must file with Hirschbach Motor Lines, it’s critical to act fast and keep thorough records of everything related to your shipment. 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. Filing a claim may seem like a hassle, but it’s important to protect yourself and get the compensation you deserve if anything goes wrong with your shipment.
