    If you wanted to get grammatical, you could say that your trailer is full of nouns.

    What fun is that? I like to tell them I'm hauling big bags of coke when I pick up Bag-in-Box drinks at Coca Cola. It's not a lie, lol.

    In the LTL field you could be pulling up to 3 trailers with literally several dozen separate shipments from different customers all with different weights, and volume. At my company we simply carry a printed manifest for each trailer that lists the weight and company tracking # for each shipment. If there is any Hazmat, it is marked with an "x" and listed at the top of the manifest with the classification and weight. We also carry specific individual BOL's for those shipments as required by law. My understanding is that "general freight", or FAK(freight all kinds) is an acceptable description for most goods.

    Some of you are trying to thread a needle with a anchor chain.
    If it isn’t hazardous material then it’s really no big deal.
    I’m sure if it comes to it, Rin Tin Tin can sniff out the details. :cool:

    The government tracks things by NSN "National Stocking Number". It references a particular part, which could be from any manufacturer. I deal in bearings, and have gotten a fair amount of government surplus over the years. You have to open the package to see what the manufacturer actually is, as a lot of times the "manufacturer" listed on the label is just the company that supplied it.
