Straight Truck Service Quote Checklist
A structured Royal Courier checklist for preparing straight truck service quote details, including pickup address, delivery address, item description, item count, dimensions, weight, pallet status, dock status, liftgate need, pallet jack path, timing, contacts, proof requirements, access notes, service fit, and special instructions.
This checklist helps customers submit clearer larger-shipment requests before Royal Courier reviews vehicle fit, liftgate needs, equipment needs, access, timing, proof needs, and service path.
Quote Readiness
Straight truck service review depends on item size, weight, pallet status, dock availability, liftgate need, vehicle access, route feasibility, timing, contacts, proof needs, and handling expectations.
Important note: This checklist helps prepare a better quote request. It does not automatically confirm pricing, timing, dispatch acceptance, vehicle type, liftgate availability, equipment availability, delivery completion, proof availability, or service availability. Royal Courier reviews each request before service is confirmed.
Checklist Table
Use this checklist to prepare the details that commonly affect straight truck service quote review.
| Checklist Item | Why It Matters | Customer Prompt | Review Flag |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pickup Address | The pickup address affects routing, truck access, dock access, loading conditions, timing, and service feasibility. | What is the full pickup address, including dock, suite, floor, warehouse, receiving area, or loading instructions? | Pickup location unclear, dock access unclear, restricted truck access, or item not ready. |
| Delivery Address | The delivery address affects routing, truck access, receiver availability, dock access, unloading conditions, proof options, and delivery feasibility. | What is the full delivery address, including dock, suite, floor, department, receiver, or delivery instructions? | Receiver unavailable, restricted access, unclear dock instructions, or truck access concern. |
| Item Description | The item description helps determine whether the request fits straight truck service or should be reviewed as liftgate, commercial equipment, trade show, final mile, airport recovery, or expedited logistics. | What is being picked up and delivered? | Item type unclear, restricted item, fragile item, equipment-related item, or oversized freight. |
| Item Count, Dimensions, and Weight | Item count, dimensions, and weight affect vehicle fit, liftgate needs, handling, equipment needs, route feasibility, and service classification. | How many items are there, and what are the approximate dimensions and weight? | Unknown size or weight, heavy item, oversized item, palletized freight, or vehicle fit uncertain. |
| Pallet, Skid, Crate, or Packaging Status | Packaging status affects loading, unloading, pallet jack review, liftgate review, cargo protection, and handling expectations. | Is the shipment palletized, crated, boxed, loose, wrapped, strapped, or otherwise packaged? | Packaging unclear, loose freight, fragile item, pallet jack path unclear, or handling concern. |
| Dock Status and Liftgate Need | Dock availability and liftgate need affect vehicle selection, loading method, unloading method, equipment needs, and feasibility. | Is there a dock at pickup and delivery, or is a liftgate needed? | No dock, liftgate required, dock height unclear, loading area restricted, or equipment need unclear. |
| Pallet Jack Path or Inside Delivery Notes | Pallet jack path, doorway, hallway, elevator, stairs, floor surface, and inside delivery notes affect access and service boundaries. | Will the freight need to move beyond the dock or curb, and is there a clear pallet jack path? | Inside delivery requested, stairs, narrow doorway, unclear path, freight elevator needed, or placement requested. |
| Ready Time and Delivery Deadline | Ready time and deadline affect route feasibility, scheduling, urgency, receiver hours, and whether expedited review applies. | When is the shipment ready, and when does it need to arrive? | Shipment not ready, urgent deadline, receiver hours limited, appointment window, or after-hours need. |
| Pickup and Delivery Contacts | Contacts help confirm readiness, release, dock instructions, receiver availability, handoff, and proof requirements. | Who should Royal Courier contact at pickup and delivery? | No pickup contact, no receiver contact, release not confirmed, or access issue. |
| Proof of Delivery | Proof requirements affect handoff, documentation, completion notes, and whether a direct receiver is needed. | Do you need a signature, recipient name, timestamp, photo, dock confirmation, direct handoff, or delivery confirmation? | Proof unclear, signature required, photo required, dock confirmation needed, or receiver unavailable. |
| Related Service Classification | Some requests may fit liftgate delivery, commercial equipment delivery, final mile, trade show delivery, airport cargo recovery, airfreight / NFO, or expedited logistics better than a general straight truck label. | Is this request palletized, no-dock, equipment-related, trade-show-related, airport-connected, urgent, final-mile, or access-sensitive? | Wrong service path possible, liftgate needed, equipment delivery, venue access, airport release, urgent freight, or access issue. |
| Handling, Placement, or Special Instructions | Special instructions can affect service boundaries, equipment needs, handling, timing, vehicle fit, and delivery feasibility. | Are there fragile, keep-upright, do-not-stack, room placement, installation, assembly, packaging removal, storage, disposal, temperature, or security instructions? | Special handling requested, placement requested, installation implied, packaging removal requested, storage requested, or multi-person service may be needed. |
