Vehicle Inspection
A routine check of the delivery vehicle to ensure it is in good working order and properly equipped for the white glove service.
Example
Before starting their day, the white glove delivery team inspects their truck to ensure it is clean, the tires are properly inflated, and the liftgate is functioning correctly. They also confirm that they have the necessary tools, protective gear, and moving equipment, such as dollies and blankets, to provide a seamless delivery experience for their customers.
