    I've done one or two. Went smooth, just pay attention to your paperwork.

    Enjoy that bailed aluminum!

    This is common in scrap metal/plastic recycling.

    Any min now....... because someone knows someone who’s brother’s cousin’s neighbor said it’s illegal.
    Blind shipments are a normal thing in both dump & tank work.

    Have a driver who took one of these scrap loads with blind shipping papers work - one for each end of the shipment.

    He was told by an agent not to fill out a bol, which is against the policy here.

    When I talked to the agent, she said this was a demand by the consignee, I told her that they can’t tell anyone not to have legal paper work filled out.

    He was pulled over for a random L1 and got nailed for no BOL. Got a ticker for it.

    The cop said the same thing I tell my drivers, there is no excuse for not having a bol filled out and signed.

    That is probably illegal from a customs point of view.

    I would never do a blind load. There’s plenty of money to be made hauling legit loads with legit BOL’s.

    A blind shipment is a good way to ''cover up'' a previous mistake or circumvent a law.
    Seems to me it [blind shipments] should be at the least ''unethical''.
