It will also depend on what your pre-flight/walk round check contains or if you are allowed to sign for a daily check (most are not allowed).
If they list checking the holds then you don't have a leg to stand on.
How is this possible? Half the time when I get to the aircraft it is already loaded. The engineers check the hold interior after it has been unloaded as part of the daily check. It is an engineering function not a flight crew one.
