How much did it pay to haul wood? And how much did the wood cost?
Take all the environmental reasons out - recycling cardboard makes fiscal sense. The money Westrock saves in timber rights alone is enough for them to want a recycling system in place.
Now plastic - that doesn't make a whole lot of sense.
What’s the point of a seal?

What is a seal doing in the trailer? Did you give him food and water ?

Seal is often a serious requirement by brokers/shippers/receivers.
It might be more often than not that they hand you one to seal it yourself and the receiver tells you to break it and throw it in the back. But there are occasions when they do check it and would refuse the load if you were missing one. Also, it is of quite an importance to have some sort of acknowledgment that you arrived with the seal intact whether they check it or not at the receiver, in case of any cargo shortages, overages, misplaces orders etc. and as a consequence they would make such notes on the BOL.
I recommend that you take a picture of the sealed trailer latch at the shipper before they tell you to break it and throw it in the back, or even better make a short video depicting the process and surrounding area showing that you are at their facility about to back into a dock.
P.S. Technically, they should always come out and verify it but good luck insisting on it every time you deliver a sealed trailer...therefore short video or at least some sort of a meaningful picture would be some alternative.JoeyJunk, gentleroger and CAXPT Thank this. -

For almost all my dry van runs, the seal is only useful to the shipper and for myself for when I stop. I rarely have a consignee check it. Almost never. One place requests you bring it inside just to have you put it into a “special” garbage can. They don’t even look at it.
