Strange Loads....

Done weirder Lol.....just make out BOL W/origine dest...

1-Trailer Load---

shipper/consignee personal effects

exclusive use...locked &sealed by shipper...

Date&sign it SL&C(shipper load&count)

and haul ###.....

if the Dot worried THEY can cut the lock off...

 

Not me..It could be anything..
They should know better than not leave you with anything about the load.
I have had this happen on a dedicated account,but should have let it sit.
I was lucky,and wont do it again.We all need to get paid,but getting knicked
for hauling God knows what will have us looking at paying fines,or worse

 

Is it going to Colorado, and does it smell kinda like a skunk?

 

During Christmas I haul loads for UPS and FEDX, The BOL says 1 trailer dry freight, non hazmat, 35,000 lbs. Shipper Load, Count And Sealed #

Dont really know whats in them, dont really care. loaded sealed by the shipper. If DOT wants in them Im ok with that, just sigm who entered and resealed.

I have hauled loads off military bases, that simply said MILITARY SURPLUS, FOR LOAD INFO CALL DOD then a number.

 

Probably a rolling meth lab.

 

To my way of thinking, there is a big difference between hauling a load labeled "FAK," from a known shipper, than there is hauling a load that you have to make and fake your own BOL. Also a big difference if the shipper is NOT known. Personally, I don't think I'd touch it, even if I was a company driver and was told to grab it.

 

Paranoia will get you no where.........

 

If you make the bills out like 'olhand said whats the worry? You are not "faking" the bills and.....just because the shipper is not known to you, does not mean they are not known.

 

The main worry is that you are hauling stolen goods, or a load of dope. Or both. And then, just try to convince law that you "had no idea what is in the truck."

Paranoid? Not at all, just common sense.
