# Should we visit a transport vendor before signing?

**Short answer:** Yes: office, vehicles, a route ride and the log.

Yes. A visit turns a questionnaire into evidence: see the **office**, **inspect a sample of vehicles** and their papers, **ride a route** at the hardest time of day (usually an early pickup or a late drop), and read the **log of breakdowns and replacements**. Companies may inspect our fleet before signing.
