When you see signage such as this at a shipper, it usually indicates that there has been a string of instances that brought forth such a need for a sign.
In other words, RUN!
Is this shippers sign legal?

I don't have the answer. I have been kept out of the docks at several locations. The only thing you may know that is on the load is the tail of the trailer. -

As for loading the trailer properly it is the shippers responsibility to load the trailer legal.
I have had shippers that would not let me on the dock for insurance reasons.
Then I have had shippers that let me on the dock and asked me how I want it loaded all I told them is I do not care as long as I can make it legal on each axle.
I will not pull a overweight trailer for anyone if they refuse to rework it so it is legal they can keep the trailer or unload it.
That is why I love the places that weigh you on the way in I usually go there with full to 3/4 tanks even though they want us to come in with 1/2 load of fuel.
I do not want the hassle of figuring up x many pounds left so I can only take on x number of gallons of fuel.
My job is to drive the truck I should not be forced to limit fuel to let them load me heavier.
If I have a full load of fuel before scaling, then loading it will mean less fuel stops in turn that would be more miles for the day which would be more pay for me.
I have heard of the hassles with going into the shipper with 1/2 full taks of fuel in a pete you have to make alot more fuel stops and loose alot more time and miles for that day. -
