Pickup person guide
Verify First. Release Second.
You are creating the first independent record of the vehicle's condition. Confirm the driver, vehicle, documentation, and photos before the vehicle leaves.
Take your own pickup photos
Whole Vehicle First. Details Second.
Stand far enough back to keep the entire vehicle in frame. Use steady, well-lit images and never rely only on the driver's phone.
Four Corners and Low Bumpers
Photograph each three-quarter corner, then safely capture beneath the front and rear bumpers without entering an unsafe area.
Identity and Interior
Capture the windshield VIN, door-jamb VIN, dashboard, odometer, fuel or battery level, keys, and front interior.
Damage: Context, Then Close-Up
First show where the area is on the vehicle. Then take a clear close-up and describe it on the BOL before signing.
Release sequence
Five Checks Before the Vehicle Leaves
A few organized minutes now can prevent uncertainty later.
Driver Gives the Code
Ask the driver to state the gate or release code. Compare it privately with Fusion's message. Do not reveal the correct code first.
Match Vehicle and VIN
Compare year, make, model, color, windshield VIN, and door-jamb VIN with the order or BOL.
Watch the Driver's Inspection
Confirm the driver captures the full photo set, condition notes, signatures, and electronic or paper BOL.
Create Your Own Record
Repeat the required angles yourself. Keep original photos, a short walkaround video when practical, and relevant messages.
Read Before Signing
Add disagreements or limitations before signing. Keep a readable pickup BOL copy and do not sign blank or inaccurate condition fields.
Missing Pickup Proof Can Leave You Bearing the Loss
An insurance company may dispute, reduce, or deny a damage claim when clear pickup proof is missing. If you cannot show the vehicle's condition before release, you may be unable to prove that damage happened later.
Take and preserve your own original photos, video, messages, and signed BOL—even when the driver also creates a record. If you skip the inspection or lose the originals, you may have to bear the resulting loss. Coverage decisions depend on the policy, facts, and applicable law; Fusion Transports does not control them.
