Hi All--Wondering about what should be necessary precautions when hiring someone to haul your tractor. This would be somebody you met over the phone on this sites "Hauling Schedule".--Isearched the archives and found this post, among others from 2004. Does anyone have any other comments or additions? I would be on the "receiving end"---Thanks "Things you should do in your case." Contact your hauler and ask for a copy of his truck and cargo insurance. Call his insurance agent and check coverage's out. He NEEDS cargo insurance because truck insurance will NOT cover your tractor in a accident. You will want a copy of the drivers license and truck/trailer registration. This will give you info on both driver and truck owner. Ask about payment arrangements. It is common to pay 50% on pickup but not all ways asked for. When driver arrives for pickup. Have the seller call you and verify that the copy you have of the drivers license and truck registration match the driver and truck picking up the load. Have the seller fill out a bill of lading(available at any truck stop) noting any info needed and noting the condition of the tractor. This is where detailed pictures are good should any discrepancies come up. The trucker should really insist on this to protect him self also. Have the driver sign the bill of lading and have seller fax/mail you a copy and give a copy to the driver. When he arrives you will sign his copy agreeing on receiving in said condition thus freeing him. If it does not arrive then you have a the copy of BOL the seller sent you where he picked up said tractor and you would just report stolen and contact his insurance company for payment.
