I don't know, but I do know that if they refuse to load it CORRECTLY, you can refuse to move it! It's YOUR butt on the line, and if you don't like how it works, simply refuse it. It cost me and my hubby some serious $$ several years ago, but we refused a load out of Dulles International because of this kind of BS.

They can post anything they want, after all, it is their dock. However, if they were to load you poorly, and then refuse to rework the load, you can raise hell with the dock folks (and with your own company) so you may never have to go back there again. I have never heard of a company not willing to rework a load; most places that tend to gross loads out will ask you to scale on the way in and then load you up, or ask how you want it loaded, ie nose heavy, even, etc.

Usually, when a shipper posts soem stupid sign like this, it's because they want the drivers to stand on the dock and watch the freight being loaded, so that they don't have to take responsibility for any OS&D. Or at least that's what my experience has been.

They reloaded it.

Exactly. If YOU didn't load it legal, YOU are going to reload it whether you like it or not. Otherwise, take your load back and insert it in a Very Uncomfortable Place. We put up with enough nonsense from shippers, I'm not going to pay the state for their laziness and incompetence.

Quick solution for me.....turn down that load. I hate inconsiderate businesses.

Simple solution. Go back to shipper...block a dock, when they try to get it towed, call the DOT. Even the tow driver has to answer for the "legal" status of the load if he snatches it.

But I agree with the previous posters...they most likely will reload it, or take it off.
