Over, Short, and Damaged Report (OS&D)

An OS&D report uses the following information to determine the accuracy and quality of a shipment: 

• Shipment numbers
• Item descriptions
• Item quantities
• Observed damages

Both the driver and the consignee will receive a copy of the OS&D shipping report. After the paperwork is completed, all parties involved can work towards a resolution by: 

• Filing a claim
• Refunds
• Returning overages
• Returning and replacing damaged goods

Regularly reviewing OS&D reports allows companies to improve their operations for future shipments.
