Remove personal items above 100 lbs, leave the fuel tank at 1/4 full, and photograph all pre-existing damage before pickup. Disable any aftermarket alarms, confirm the vehicle runs and drives, and provide a spare key. These steps prevent delays at the Bill of Lading inspection in New Mexico and protect your claim rights if any issue arises at delivery in Rhode Island.

The Bill of Lading is the inspection document signed by both the driver and customer at pickup and again at delivery. It records the vehicle's condition before and after the 2,087-mile transit.
