	SIP panels are often delivered via tractor and full-length trailer. Because of the size and weight of the truck, an improved roadway surface with sufficient overhead clearance (approximately 13’) is required. A turn-around area may also be required under certain circumstances. The off-loading of panels is the responsibility of the owner / contractor. Panels are stacked and bundled on pallets according to size and location. These bundles can be large and unwieldy. Because of their length, height, and width, the common forklift truck or tractor with forklift is sometimes not adequate for the job of unloading a truck. For many shipments, a large capacity forklift will be necessary to safely unload. When notified of the shipment of the delivery truck, be available and prepared for the arrival of the truck. Most trucking companies will charge an additional per hour fee if unloading time exceeds two hours. The Bill-of-Materials and Bill-of-Lading are part of the shipment documents. As material is unloaded, check to confirm the delivery of all items itemized on the Bill-of-Materials. If panels or other material on the Bill-of-Materials are not included with the shipment, or have been damaged during shipment, note those item(s) on the Bill-of-Lading. The signing of the Bill-of-Lading documents the receipt of the items listed on the Bill-of-Materials and notes any missing or damaged items.
