Wide Views Prove Location
Keep the entire panel and vehicle in frame. Photograph front, rear, sides, four corners, roof, glass, wheels, and lower bumpers.

Carrier and driver guide
Inspect First. Move Second.
A complete pickup and delivery record can protect the carrier from responsibility for damage that was already present. Complete the assigned workflow, document condition precisely, and never leave a failed step undocumented.
Inspection photo workflow
Build a Condition Record That Tells the Whole Story.
Capture the same complete sequence at pickup and delivery. Do not substitute screenshots, cropped images, or a few damage close-ups for the required full views.
Close-Ups Prove Condition
For every scratch, dent, chip, crack, stain, or missing item, take a context image followed by sharp close-ups.
Identity and Operating State
Capture both VIN locations, dashboard warnings, odometer, fuel or battery level, keys, and useful interior views.
Repeat at Delivery
Use the same angles after unloading. Record new observations before signature and keep both inspection records connected to the load.
Carrier workflow
Five Non-Negotiable Inspection Steps
Use the assigned electronic workflow. When it fails, call Fusion before leaving and create the same record on paper.
Confirm Before Pickup
Review vehicle, VIN, contacts, access, release code, operability, equipment, and special instructions before loading.
Record Pre-Existing Condition
Use exact notes and clear photos. Mark every visible condition before movement and review it with the pickup person.
Complete BOL and Signatures
Never leave blank condition fields. Give the signing party a readable copy and retain the pickup record.
Stop on a Failed Step
If the app, VIN, signature, release, vehicle condition, access, or safety situation does not match, call Fusion before continuing.
Close Delivery Carefully
Repeat the inspection after unloading, record differences, obtain acknowledgment, preserve both BOLs, and answer ETA requests.
Sin pruebas de la recogida, un daño previo puede parecer responsabilidad suya
La aseguradora puede cuestionar, reducir o rechazar una reclamación si el transportista no presenta pruebas originales y claras de la recogida y la entrega. Sin un registro completo de la recogida, quizá no pueda demostrar que el daño ya existía antes del transporte.
Conserve las fotos originales de todos los ángulos, las imágenes del VIN, los primeros planos de cada daño, los registros de inspección, los mensajes y los BOL firmados en ambos lugares. Si el conductor omite pruebas requeridas o el transportista pierde los originales, el transportista podría tener que asumir una pérdida que no puede refutar. La decisión de cobertura depende de la póliza, los hechos y la ley aplicable; Fusion Transports no la controla.
Electronic first, paper backup
Never Let a Technical Problem Erase the Inspection.
Assigned loads have a prefilled BOL in the Carrier Portal. If the app or portal cannot be completed, call Fusion before leaving, use the fillable blank BOL, capture the same photos, and obtain signatures.
A condition or step does not match?
Stop, Preserve the Evidence, and Contact Fusion.
Do not guess, assign blame, promise repairs, or continue when a difference affects safe or documented completion of the move.
