Thanks Mack!!! Your comments are always welcomed and appreciated.
Your right..... There is a difference between blind loads and dropped shipped. So I apologize if I confuesed anybody with my last post. I started talking about blind loads and trailed off into the hard and sometimes thankless job that us truckers do. I should have stayed with the subject at hand and for that I apologize if I confused anyone?
But it is easy for anyone to judge and critize what others do. Especially truckers. I mean hell,,,, the way the other people see us,,,, is that it doesn't take much skill or brains to be a trucker. They think all we do is just drive and that is far from the truth!!!

Chem plants used blind and double blind all the time...
True story, DuPont and Allied both supplied the same photo chemical [pre-digital days] and a customer used to get 5 loads a week, 3 from one and two from the other alternating each week.
I had to type up a complete set of papers for our drivers who left from the DuPont plant with firm instructions to use the DuPont set of papers during maintenance shut down when they picked up the product from Allied.
Grizzled old un-loader at the customer pulls out a sample, looks a the glass and says "You got this one from Allied, didn't you?".....
When I worked for a Canadian carrier; one of our largest customers supplied generic chemicals from various US suppliers and used blind delivery BOL's after customs.
Some distributors manage to purchase a chemical from a major supplier by wanting to sell a large amount at a discount price and re-sell, a load at a time, to others at a markup and all the deliveries were blind.Last edited: Jul 29, 2019

This weekend I hauled some chemical loads for a company Ill leave out, But the company that contractted me to drive there truck was not the same company that I loaded the product from (BULK), The BOL showed the correct city, and product, but is simply being sold by another chemical company , so I consider it a drop ship, even though the loading company was different than the company selling the chemicals, The product and the mix was correct, being Hazmat that was my concern, But I still consider it a drop ship.
MartinFromBC Thanks this. -
Some people also worry too much about what a brand name is or where it originated from...you aren't buying it or marrying it...just hauling it...worry less

False papers are fraud. That's a crime. If you're helping them falsify it, you're at the very least an accessory to a felony, and probably a full-fledged participant in the eyes of the law.
Now if they wanna route something through some location and split it into 2 "shipments", A to B and B to C, and only pass the B to C information on to the receiving party at C... that's their business.
But you still gotta physically roll thru point B with the cargo for it to be legalMr.Peterbuilt777 Thanks this. -

Totally missed my point if you were replying to me.
Not saying lie on a legal form.
But just take whatever you get from them, and go. If they lied that's between them and the police.mustang190 Thanks this.
