The Secrets to Staying Damage Free
With so many changes of possession along a brand new vehicle’s journey (or “chain of custody”) from origin to destination, keeping the car in pristine condition is critical at each and every step. At every change of possession, the car is inspected for any damage and the party in possession is ultimately responsible for reporting any damage and coordinating repairs with the manufacturer.
Luckily, shippers who utilize rail can rely on the AAR for established guidelines, loading diagrams and resources for safe securement in transit. The automotive industry and AAR work closely together to design, develop and continuously improve the way vehicles are shipped.
As always, it is important to consult with the railroad before shipping any product to ensure it is properly loaded, secured and meets AAR requirements.
