If you are going to book for the first time you should consult any regular customer of a trucking company. If you are unable to find such a person, you have the following responsibilities prior to finalize a deal:-

You should confirm that the selected company should be a licensed one. If from the website or in the case of physical visit of the office of the company, you don’t find the license duly issued by the relevant bureau, you should ask for the same from the relevant person. The relevant employee should not hesitate to show the same, he should show the same happily. The license should be valid in all respects.

That it should be registered with the government registration office and the registration book should be with the driver or company, at present the registration should be valid.
That the fitness certificate of the same truck should be there with the company and that should be a valid one.
That driver has a valid driving license.
That valid route permit is with the driver.

Prior to dealing finally you should also make it sure that you would be given a detailed receipt of your commodities by the driver or representative of the company. Also notice that you are given the receipt with regard to advance payment of the tariff charges.

After unloading your commodities when you are asked to sign the relevant receipt, before signing you should tally all the items with the list earlier prepared (at the time of loading). You should check the breakable goods after unpacking before the driver departs and if any damage is there, it should be brought into the notice of the relevant employee of the company (if other than the driver) well in time.
