    Picked up 3 loads now over the last week where the shippers didn't put the reefer temperature on the BOL. I have been having to go back and make them write the temp down on it. All these loads were americold loads which are usually -10°F.

    Is it some kind of trick by shippers to not put the temp down so the driver gets thrown under the bus or something?

    I've never picked up a americold load that hasn't had the temp printed on it. They are normally just hard to find but printed on it.

    I hesitate to attribute to malice anything easily explained by laziness.
