How is it that blind shipments are even legal if a BOL is supposed to be a legally binding document?
Buggers finally got me, double broker scam.

Show blind bol to receiver. -
49 USC is dense as all get out, and I'm not a lawyer and haven't had a chance to dig through all the applicable case law either. -
So I take it there's no legit way anymore for a carrier to "trip lease" his/her load to another carrier? Say you booked a load under your MC, started hauling and broke down 3 miles before your destination. Now you sit there with the load and a local shop tells you would take 3 weeks to fix your truck. And you know another carrier who agrees to take your trailer and complete delivery of your load - but under their numbers. So how would you arrange this the right way?

Thanks wichris and loneranger.
So I guess it makes sense carrying a blank lease agreement with you at all times. In case you break down with the load, you're the lessee (carrier A). You quickly execute the lease, give the copy to Carrier B to put in his truck and he can hook up your trailer and deliver your load.. But what about insurance, would they accept such arrangements? -
Have had a few loads we brokered that the carrier broke down. They already had someone they knew that would finish it. We just set them up as a carrier with us and sent a RC.Ruthless, LoneRanger and Siinman Thank this. -
