What's Blind BOL? When instructed to use Blind Bill of Lading and does not, the carrier to assess a $500 fee?
If a carrier is required to get an empty/loaded scale ticket and does not, fine up to $250.
The carrier needs to make sure/ is obligated to have their company name listed on all pages of BOL. If it is not, they can hold up your payment for 4months??? (all in a rate con agreement)
Failure to depart shipper with a fully loaded trailer, it terms of weight and space, or incomplete may lower your rate.
Driver must pulp all produce for temperature and do the count.
A disclosed rate to the shipper/receiver gets $500 fine.
Weird Wording on rate cons?

Blind BOL or a blind shipment is when, on the BOL either the shipper or the receiver information is left blank. That way either the shipper doesn't know where the shipment is going or the receiver part is left blank so the shipper doesn't know where the goods are going.
What is Blind Shipping and Blind Drop Shipping: Meaning and DefinitionProfessionalNoticer and Beaver9 Thank this. -
Beaver9 Thanks this.

Granted the blinds I've done were commodities, but there were never any penalties. Heck most the time the shippers and receivers already knew where the product was coming from, going to or didn't care.Speed_Drums, 86scotty, D.Tibbitt and 4 others Thank this. -
I didn't take that load. There are too many penalties. They want to put all the blame on the carrier if anything goes wrong. Not worth it, especially when they word themselves they may take up to four months to pay??? for requesting something no other broker requests.
They also put in wording that they are buying your truck and trailer for that time when you are taking that load. What if they want to drop off trailer in the meantime. I never have seen any other broker put so much ownership over everything a poor carrier does to move product from one place to another.Speed_Drums, Antinomian, Dino soar and 4 others Thank this. -

Blind shipments are usually no more than Direct Shipments. Wholesaler buys a Truckload from Manufacturer, or another Distributor, and doesn’t want the Customer to know where it came from. Often it’s packaged with the Suppliers Brand name. Sometimes it will be double blind, meaning the Shipper doesn’t know where it’s going either. Keeps both parties from cutting out the wholesaler. So picking up, you’ll give a fictitious Customer and Location, and when delivering, new BOL will have the same, or maybe even a different fictitious origin. Need to keep a copy of original BOL for records. I once came from the south with a load of motor oil. Guys in NJ asked about the snow storm in Colorado. Had Me stumped for a minute. Oh yeah, it was rough!! Lol.

We do blind loads of pallets all the time... My company buys truck load of pallets, which my company had already sold to a pallet supplier. Said supplier has already sold them to a customer.
I get a load of pallets and get a BOL that has my company as the consignee, but I already have a BOL from the pallet supplier that lists them as the shipper and their customer as the consignee. I then deliver the pallets to the pallet suppliers customer. -
It looks like they wanted me to be the consignee mandating my company to be named on the BOL, being financially responsible for it.
I don't really understand everything, so I'm glad I opted out. I don't want to be screwed over if something ends up wrong with that particular load.77fib77, ProfessionalNoticer, Dino soar and 3 others Thank this. -
