    I got fired for number 4

    guard at the exit gate of the factory didn’t notice my trailer number didn’t match the bills .
    Guard at the gate of the terminal noticed but changed the trailer number in the computer instead of asking about it or checking

    two days later when the trailer got to the dock of an automotive assembly plant a thousand miles away , and they opened the doors and saw empty racks instead of new seats for cars , the company had to charter a cargo plane and fly the seats to the factory to avoid the assembly line being shut down ,

    I was promptly fired .

    So everyone else involved shirked their responsibilities and you got fired.

    Yep, SOP.

    Whenever I was in the Dallas, Ft. Worth area. I constantly saw signs for drivers. Most all were for local distribution. Even jostler. Just drive around warehouse/cold storage areas and look.

    You know how it is. Only the driver is supposed to notice things. :rolleyes:

    I couldn’t begin to count how many shipments made it halfway across the #### country to land on my trailer that are hazmat and weren’t billed as such.

    Yep

    the mistake started with me and none of the other people who were supposed to notice it , noticed it .

    the only consolation to being fired was knowing my screw up cost the company a couple hundred grand to charter a cargo plane from Atlanta to Detroit

    I can think of a good use for people who do what you described: speed bumps.
