RV tire changes
When performing a tire
change on an RV, it is unacceptable to use the RV’s leveling jack system to
lift the vehicle up. These systems are
designed to level the coach, not suspend it in mid air.
Enroute Mileage
Enroute mileage is paid from the service providers base
location. Enroute mileage will only be
paid when discussed during the initial dispatch conversation.
Customer Damage Complaints
- As an
Independent Service Provider, Coach-Net does not assume any liability for
damage to a vehicle while in the possession of the service provider. Any damage claim suspected of occurring
while in the service provider’s possession is the service provider’s
responsibility to resolve. When a
damage complaint is filed with Coach-Net, Coach-Net reserves the right to
freeze any payment processing of the PO until the dispute is
resolved.
- ISP must
inspect each vehicle for pre-existing damage before performing a service
on the vehicle. The vehicle should
also be inspected at the drop off location if the service provided is a
tow.
- Coach-Net
does have a dedicated person responsible to facilitate open communications
between the member & the service provider when a damage complaint is
filed. Coach-Net’s role is that of a mediator, with the goal of
assisting both parties to reach an outcome.

Golden Rule
Coach-Net dispatchers will advise

the cost amount or the type of service rendered changes, you must call for
authorization before the additional services or costs are rendered for
authorization, otherwise the additional charges will be disallowed for
payment.
