Damaged and rejected load, is the driver responsible?

But if you are hauling anything in a reefer and the trailer is not sealed yet, take pictures and cover your back pockets.

 

I guess it would take a very hard braking to do that.
Is there something in this story that is left out?

 

No. The driver left the facility. Got to the receiver and the receiver rejected the load due to spillage.

 

I'm confused.

Are you the driver?
Because you seem to speak of everything in the third person.

Even so, what would cause a spillage towards the cab other than a hard braking event?

 

I can’t speak for who’s accountable. But that’s what I’m asking.

 

And you are making no sense.

Answer a simple question.

 

Is this guy the driver and is he speaking cryptically because he doesn’t want to take responsibility?

 

I'm curious as to what type of product spilled.

 

It is a tricky situation to me. How can you blame the driver did the guy loading it spill it. What is the product was it properly secured when it was being put on pallets. I hauled water and the way shrink wrap was used wouldn't hold the water at all. I would inspected before I would leave the plant.
I had an issue with a load of cookies one long story short I did watch them load the load but didn't unload (not allowed on dock). So some cans were damaged broker tried to blame me (small guy). When you get to receiver they have you open your doors just to see from the back if load shifted(my first defense) secondly I'm not allowed on the dock. How do i know the unloader didn't damaged the cans nor did they come & get me & say look at this damaged product. Third when they loaded them they were already wrapped so I didn't see them individually being packed.
No I didn't not accept responsibility I would have if I did & it was a short 40 mile drive. I know I didn't hard brake to smash those cans. It more than likely was the unloader I believe but no claim was filed & those Danish cookies looked good at the table.
If all possible & you know you were not responsible fight it all you can.

 

It's one of these facebook dispatchers that doesn't understand trucking and has to explain things to the freight broker
