Freight day is where equipment purchases succeed or turn into claims. Mortuary equipment freight arrives LTL on pallets — and the receiving rules protect you only if you follow them at the dock. From a premier funeral supply company since 2009.
Before the Truck: Access & Unloading
LTL receiving assumes you can unload: a dock or forklift for heavy equipment, or liftgate service arranged in advance. Walk the delivery path before ordering — the install-path lesson applies to every large purchase, and our team confirms unloading requirements on every equipment quote.
At the Dock: The 30-Minute Rule
Inspect before signing: unwrap enough to see the equipment, not just the pallet. You have up to 30 minutes to inspect inside and out — use them. Note every anomaly on the delivery receipt; a clean signature ends carrier liability, per our shipping policy. Photograph damage before the truck leaves. And Tri-Cities firms can skip all of it: free local pickup in Johnson City puts your hands on the equipment at our dock.
