Please make sure Viega confirmed the claim before continuing and keep in mind that every carrier has a different process to file a claim. It is best practice to check the carrier's website first for details.
We will guide you through the required documentation and where you can find necessary information before filing the claim with the carrier.
When receiving a shipment be sure to note the amount and any damage or shortage to the shipment.
The example below shows a delivery receipt signed electronically for an example carrier, ABF. The customer signature is noted as 1 CTN SHORT. NOTE: Please always verify count and condition of cargo. Next, either manually or electronically record the damage or shortage in detail on the receiving record/delivery slip. |
| The carrier only accepts claims filed electronically on their website. Please keep in mind that a phone call does not constitute a legal claim. |

Under “TOOLS”, select “Submit a Claim”. In this case, it will take you to the arcb.com website.
