WHY THESE QUESTIONS?
A quote is only as clear as its scope.
Separate the extra services.
Unloading payments can include other services. Ask exactly what each charge covers, including pallet work and rescheduling.
Read J.B. Hunt’s payment guidance ↗Agree on the paperwork.
Ask who authorizes payment and what supporting documents are needed. Requirements depend on the carrier and agreement.
