    I'm being charged $1,400 for two missing bins of oranges. On my third stop at a Walmart I realized I was two containers short of the expected count, I counted each container as they were pulled out of my trailer on the two prior stops to ensure the correct amount was unloaded but somehow I ended up being short and now I am being charged for them is that legal?

    Are you a company driver or l/o? Also did you sign the bills as shipper load and count?

    I didn't sign for the load at the shipper, the trailer was already loaded for me when I began driving it to the destination. I am a company driver

    What screwed up company is trying to charge a company driver $1400 for a shortage on a load he was not responsible for from beginning to end?

    What was the appropriate gross at the beginning? 2 bins would be noticeable if it was loaded short.
