Sanway Auto Transport Inc must be notified should the Customer be unavailable for pickup or delivery, and a consignee must be designated at that time. If a carrier is assigned and the vehicle cannot be picked up for any reason, there will be an additional $75.00 charged to the Customer's credit card. This charge will be applied to rescheduling and/or dry-run fees of the carrier.

Postponing the transport of a vehicle must be done by the Customer no less than 10 business days prior to the first available pickup date.

If the Customer decides to postpone the pickup dates of his/her vehicle(s) beyond 15 days from the original dates, the price of the transport is subject to change based upon current fuel prices for the rescheduled dates.

5. Sanway Auto Transport Inc hereby notifies Customer that their vehicle will be driven on and off the carrier, or to and from the carrier at the pickup or delivery site. Should the carrier be unable to access either site, this does not relieve the Customer or consignee from making a reasonable effort to meet the truck at a suitable location. If a vehicle is NOT operational and/or the carrier cannot physically reach the location, a local tow truck may be used to deliver vehicle to the assigned carrier at the expense of the Customer.

6. All vehicles to be delivered with a balance due shall be paid by CASH, MONEY ORDER or CASHIERS CHECK ONLY (US funds). Should delivery be attempted after attempted notification (3 to 24 hours voice notification to phone numbers provided by Customer) and Customer or his agent does not have proper funds or is unavailable to receive delivery, vehicle(s) may be taken to and left at the nearest terminal at the discretion of the carrier, where Customer will have to retrieve and pay for storage or redelivery fees. In the event the Customer decides to arrange to make full payment with a credit card at the time of the booking, the order will be subject to a 5% service charge.

Damage must be noted in the proper place on the bill of lading, and signed by driver and Customer or consignee regardless of weather, or time of day.

Customer or consignee MUST check vehicle thoroughly.

13. Sanway Auto Transport Inc and its agents must also be notified of any damage by phone within 24 hours. Customer must submit in writing a description of damage, clear pictures, and 2 estimates within 10 days of receipt of said vehicle directly to the designated carrier for any resolution to be initiated.
