Blind Loads!!!

You talking the Statham Transporters?

 

That's a little different because T&A is in both places. Receiver knows where it's coming from.

 

I always write down on the BOL where the load originates from, really do not care what the shipper or receiver want or thinks, even the Gov loads I will at least write down "Mercury / North Edwards" or Maybe not anything else but at least where it starts, and ends.

 

I don't write anything on the bills personally. Doesn't matter to me what they say. I know what I'm getting paid for and that's all that matters to me.

 

There are certain thing required to be on the BOL, thats all I make sure thats there.

 

My company does ALOT of blind loads off pallets... Yep something as simple as pallets. We buy dozens of semi loads of pallets every month from various pallet manufacturers, and deliver them directly to our other customers, who also usually give us shipping business.

Our customers receive a generic BOL and is invoiced for the pallets and the cost of shipping. So we make $$$ on the pallets and the shipping.

 

On actual product I have no problems with a shipper not telling a receiver where it came from thats none of my business anyway.

as long as the BOL is filled out correctly I'm good, I haul loads that do not identify the contents other than surplus freight, overage materials, as long as it Identifies Hazmat by type and weight, you know the legal stuff, where it came from is none of my business.

I've hauled nuclear waste out of NV did it tell me the orgin of the waste, nope, and I did not care , not my issue thats up to the higher pay grade.

 

Sounds like they are importing stuff from China, putting their logos on it then faking the bills. Somebody (your company and not you) is getting paid for hiding this knowledge while you get nothing extra for actually moving it for them.

My company delivers similar stuff and gets paid twice to move it. We pick up glass manufactured at one companies plant and deliver it to another companies plant that is currently out of commission. Then when an order is placed we deliver it to the customer. One of the customers I deliver to found the stickers of both companies on the glass and since they don't want glass from the original company because it's supposedly interior he wasn't happy about it.
