Distressed Load Recovery

What we recover

When the load arrives — but not in a condition anyone will sign for.

A pallet stack shifted in transit. Shrink-wrap shredded by a forklift. A consignee refused delivery because the cartons crushed under a top layer that wasn’t supposed to be there. Most brokers don’t take that call. We do, and we do it the same day.

• Dispatch 24/7 · most recoveries dock within the same shift
• Restack, rewrap, re-band, re-secure · cargo-specific equipment
• Photograph in / photograph out · documented chain of custody
• POD reissued · clean BOL handed to the recovery driver

The 911 calls we take

The freight problems no one else wants on their desk.

• Shifted LoadSecurement failed in transit. We unload, restack, and re-secure for the final leg.
• Refused at DockConsignee won’t sign. We take possession, recover the freight, find a buyer or return.
• Damaged WrapShrink-wrap torn, pallets exposed. Same-day rewrap, banding, and corner-board protection.
• Driver DownHOS expired, equipment failed, driver out. We finish the run — same trailer or transload.
• Tarp FailureFlatbed load took weather. Dry, repack, reroute under cover.
• Wrong-Consignee Mis-DeliverFreight at the wrong door. We retrieve, hold, redirect to the right address.

Why Comet for recovery

We’ve been the dock everyone else calls since 1995.

Recovery is a reputation business. Insurance adjusters, claims teams, and dispatchers across the southeast already have our number — because every minute a distressed load sits costs someone money. We pick up, we move, we document. The paperwork is as clean as the dock when we’re done.
