Drivers' Signature on Blank BOL at Shippers' !!!?

If it makes one all warm an fuzzy, SLC to ones heart content

 

This is kind of like having the receiver sign for the seal......that could have
been installed 5 minutes before you got there.....being intact before the
doors were opened and you backed into the dock.



It only makes the folks you work for feel better if an OSand D claim is filed.

 

If I can't count it that what I'm putting there. I guess you missed the part where I said it covers my butt? I said that because it "HAS" saved my butt & my $$$ a few times.
I haven't always pulled tanks.
At one time I was a city pick up & drop driver in Vancouver BC. All I did was drop empty's & pick up loaded trailers from the shippers doors. Shipper Load & Count went on every single single BOL I signed. And some times things were shorted, it never came out of my pocket, but I can guarantee you it would have if I never put Shipper Load & Count on the BOL. That's My experience yours may be different, but I highly recommend it if you can't count the load, if you don't put anything on the BOL, well, then your covered by nothing at all. Something is always better than nothing.

 

in front of where you write your name put SLC, Example: SLC,your name here then it's on both copies.

 

most likely for the Best

 

You MAN THE F UP and tell them to make either the load or the paperwork right.
You as a driver then make the required ADJUSTMENTS and get the load DELIVERED!

bottom line . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Understandably its pretty scary when there are no airplane noises following the next spoon of applesauce

 

If you can't haul it because of the weight then you can't haul it. Call your company & let them deal with it. But back on the count, if you signed as I stated in my other post....so what. Again, call your company, that's now their dept.
