Delivery appointment checklist

When to use it

Use this when appointment timing, facility rules, delay handling, or driver instructions need to be checked in writing.

Checklist

Common mistakes

• Comparing only the headline revenue without checking timing, total miles, and paperwork.
• Relying on a phone comment when the written load file says something different.
• Leaving the final decision undocumented even when the load carries an obvious risk.

Working format

• Use a short written note with load number, lane, broker, date, and the open item being checked.
• Mark each item as confirmed, missing, or not applicable.
• Keep the finished checklist with the rate confirmation or billing packet.
