Check whether the pickup uses private property, a dock or public curb space. Measure access constraints and identify every service the crew must perform before loading.
Confirm unloading conditions independently
Verify truck access, property permission and receiving hours separately from pickup. Resolve elevator, stair and long-carry conditions at the destination in writing.
Recheck the corridor when the date is fixed
Review Indiana TrafficWise before loading so dispatch sees current restrictions and construction. Recheck FL511 before confirming the final arrival sequence.
