Total rookie mistake, I know. Been driving almost two years now. Picked up at a ConAgra, got the “pre-bill” paperwork which looks like the front page of the actual bills. Grabbed my trailer, confirmed trailer #, seal, pretrip, etc.
Did loaded call, go back to the guard shack and evidently I handed her the old sheet but she handed me the wrong bills. My ignorant self checked the address but not the trailer, seal, carrier, etc. -sigh-
This ever happen to you guys? I don’t think dispatch likes me at the moment lol
Ever had the wrong bills?

Her fault too.
Not the end of the world, they can fax them ahead to the cosignee.
Now, If you had grabbed the wrong load...TruckRunner, sevenmph, Mike2633 and 1 other person Thank this. -
Blank bills took care of that right quick. Bad bills went in one envelope carefully sent a different day and location and the written down on Generic Bills of Lading went out with the truck paperwork. Im pretty sure between the qualcomm data and the chicken scratch that passes for handwriting they will put it together.

A few years ago I was running the same load once every two weeks or so. They knew me, I pretty much went to the same door to pick up every time. Walked in, they handed me bills going to not far from where I always went. I absent mindedly headed to my truck and thought "Hmm maybe I should ask about this." Could have been an interesting mess had that not been straightened out.

We dont do drop amd swaps. So Im married to my trailer. Had a driver break down and put his truck in shop. I went to our yard to get his trailer and go do his delivery. His tralier is 22334, I grabbed the trailer next to his 23234.

I got the pick list once instead of the BOL. Thankfully they were able to fax it over to the consignee.

Last month picked up Load. Guy gave me wrong bills. He had another set he was working on. Luckily I checked bills. Admittedly sometimes forget to only human. Never had problem however with modern day technology no reason they can’t straighten it out. Main thing you had the right Load. Wrong Load that’s a problem. I grabbed wrong trailer once while Leased to a Carrier. While trying to do extra weekend work. Ended up doing round Trip 2 x once for free. I worked hard for what little extra I made. I was in a big hurry. Same as most mistakes I’ve made.
