    Blind bills are easy. They just make me feel guilty like I'm lying to someone though. lol

    I-95 about 100 miles south of Jax. Going Rincon GA. deliver tomorrow then have preplan to pickup in Rincon on Sunday. Guess I'm spending a day. And that is supposed to go to MD just south of Baltimore for Tuesday. Getting a little closer to home but cutting it close for thanksgiving. Oh forgot to mention shipper today in West Palm Beach. I guess we've never been there, no directions. Scrap paper on a little road. So I find a small abandoned lot next door to address and call. They tell me I have to go another street down to scale MT and come back. So this narrow street and they have a little gate I have to blind alley dock into with city busses zipping by. Then have to go get heavy weight. Thank god they got it first time overall weight good just had to slide tandem a couple holes.

    It's like when you have a broker buying a load of lumber and reselling it to another customer. So we may pick up for ABC Lumber from Bobs Hardwoods and deliver to Joes Chairshop. Bobs thinks we are delivering to ABC and Joes thinks we are bringing it from ABC. So in that case shipper and receiver don't know about each other. So you deliver with a company handwritten receipt instead of actual bills. Make sense?

    I'd done plenty of blind bills while at Roehl, and that would send off some warning flags for me. I never made a secret of it not going where it was billed to, nor not coming from the alleged shipper. I generally did the Jedi-mind trick wave, while saying things in Obi-wan voice. It gives them some, limited opportunity to correct an error we wouldn't actually think of. like,

    "Listen.. *IF* this is actually going to Tennessee, we've put the wrong crap on your truck."

    /mindtrick-wave "You've put the wrong crap on my truck..."

    I had a blind BOL shipment. Funny thing was both the shipper and consignee knew where it was coming from and by who, and where it was going and to who.

    Yeah seems like most of the time they know its coming from somewhere else and not broker. I've never had anyone ask of try to find out origin.

    Oh that's why it's a blind bill, if they hadn't heard where it was coming from/going to already you'd have to use the Deaf Bills.
