Yes; however, it is recommended that you or someone you know is available when the vehicle is picked up/dropped off, since this is when the initial and final inspections will be done. SUBURBAN SHIPPING has a Vehicle Condition Report form that you can download and complete with a copy left on the dash for pick-up only. In the event there are discretions the movers will contact the office who will then contact you for discussion about the issue(s).
