Hopper, Dump O/O's & Drivers

Logging like you do it is pretty much the norm now. Most all of our scale tickets have a time in/time out stamped on them, so how do you get around that when you get pulled in at a scale? Plus now the fuel card shows the time you fueled on the internet admin screen. You get in an accident, and your screwed if you didn't log it like it happened. Some nasty lawyer will eat you alive.

I know lots of guys throw away the scale ticket and just keep the BOL with the hand written info on it, but that puts you in question if you loose weight between the two places. AND we've had that happen before and some serious conflicts on which weight to pay on came up. So having the scale ticket from where you loaded helps a lot in getting paid.

We had one place that we loaded M&B all the time, they would have a couple thousand pounds of ice on their scale, and wouldn't zero it out or use the skid to remove it. That caused all kinds of problems. (we won't even talk about daylight savings time with them) Of course we were stuck in the middle. And this was an inter company transfer from one facility to another. We stopped hauling those because of the scale differences between the two places. Just one big argument about the whole weight thing.
