Truck Freight Questions

What is Truck Freight?

If an item is 151 lbs. or more, it will be shipped via  LTL or Truck Freight (on a semi-truck) and you must have the means to unload it from the truck. The shipment MUST BE INSPECTED UPON RECEIPT. The consignee (you or someone you appoint) must completely open and inspect the product.

You will be asked at checkout to agree that you can and will accept truck freight shipping at your shipping address. If you agree to truck freight, but are unable to accept it upon arrival, you will incur return fees.

 

When will I receive a part that was shipped by truck freight or LTL?

With the additional logistics of shipping larger items, truck freight can take 7-10 days to arrive at its destination.

 

What if my item shipped via truck freight arrives damaged?

Please note 'Damaged' or “Short” and a brief description of the damage or shortage found on the delivery receipt. Bobcat will arrange for pick-up of the damaged product and ship out a new order right away.

Freight drivers are in a hurry and if there are no signs of damage to the outside packaging, sometimes they will not let you open it up and look it over carefully. If the outside packaging looks good then you should be okay to sign for the freight and let the driver go. If the outside packaging has any signs of damage like creases, rips, tears, holes, punctures, crushed in, etc. and the driver won’t let you open it to inspect, make sure to note it on the delivery receipt and take photos if possible, and we've got you covered.

 

Why do I need to inspect the shipment?

It is VERY IMPORTANT that the freight is inspected before you sign the delivery receipt. By signing the receipt and accepting the shipment, you are releasing the freight company and all of its affiliates of any liability for damages that are not reported on the delivery receipt at the time of delivery.

If you discover damage after the freight driver leaves, email Bobcat Parts at shop@bobcat.com or call 844-926-2228 or 844-9-BOBCAT within 48 hours so we can report it. We only have a few days to report damage that isn't reported on the delivery receipt and it is a lot harder to win the claim.
