All vehicles must have fully functioning rear lights, marker lights, turn signals, tail lights, mud flaps where appropriate, and roadworthy tires with a minimum of 3/32 tread and solid sidewalls. All repairs in transit are the responsibility of the customer; where prepayment is authorized, costs of repair plus a 10% service charge will be invoiced to the customer. The charges are in addition to the line haul transportation charges.
If during the course of transport the vehicle should be subject to a USDOT roadside inspection and citation, resulting fines and/or mandated charges will be the responsibility of the customer. Customer payment is preferred, but if circumstances demand prepayment by MTI, charges plus 10% will be added to line haul charges for the delivery. MTI accepts no responsibility for fines, penalties, impound and/or storage charges, legal or court costs assigned to the vehicle.
In Addition, MTI accepts no responsibility for damage or claims relating to road hazards: damage caused by road debris including - but not limited to - stone chips, tire damage, salt or sand damage, and glass damage to mirrors, windows or windshields.
All additional costs of a break down such as lodging, transportation, meals, expired permits, missed flights or return transportation will be charged to the customer plus a 10% service charge. These charges will be in addition to the line haul transportation charges.
Similarly, MTI will not accept responsibility or honor claims for "delay in transit". Shipments are moved on an as-available basis, and only move as expedited shipments if expedited service has been requested and higher expedited rate will be paid. Road and weather conditions, USDOT hours of service regulations, -even road construction and/or national emergencies - may delay highway movement of a vehicle. Delivery times are not guaranteed.
