But, these days you should constantly visit government sides and make sure stuff didn’t changed since last time you was visiting.
Back in the days, the carriers were the one responsible for the freight until it was delivered safely at its destination, but now things have changed.
With all those individual contracts negotiated between the shipper and the carrier, both sides are concerned and puzzled until the final outcome, and in many cases, by the outcome as well!
For any possible transportation incident that occurs, such as cargo theft and property damage or injuries, they don’t know for sure whose fault will be till attorneys have a close look at the transportation liability paperwork.
Both sides are held responsible, regardless which side is on the wrong, till detailed analyzes are made and reviewed.
