When total inspection cannot be made on vehicle prior to unloading, close inspection during unloading must be performed and visible damage noted on the delivery receipt. Take pictures if possible.

It is essential that a notation "possible internal damage, subject to inspection" be included on the delivery receipt. If the driver will not sign the delivery receipt with the damage noted, the shipment should not be signed for by the consignee or their agent.
