That’s good but the BOL must be completely filled out or you are running illegal. DOT don’t care one bit about the rate confirmation. They will never ask to see it. Never move your rig until you have a properly filled out BOL even if you fill it out yourself. It’s just as important as your logbook, cab card, insurance and IFTA.

So it turns out about half of the load from the 1st shipper was returned to my trailer. To be exact, it was two PU #s out of the three PU #s from the 1st shipper. This obviously doesn’t change the fact that I still ended up doing this short haul without my consent.
The broker was gone for the week once I realized what was going on. The brokerage company is on Eastern time while I was in Pacific time. I’ll speak to him on Monday, but I don’t feel optimistic about it. Whether I get compensated or not, I likely won’t be taking any multi-stop loads from these guys, especially from the northwest.
I know what you’re thinking. Why do business with them at all? If I follow this mentality, I might as well block 75% of brokers. However, that’s not to say I haven’t blocked brokers for one reason or another because I have, but it’s rare in my line of work. Besides, I work with many brokers, and I’m constantly adding new brokers.Last edited: Dec 29, 2019

While I generally agree with this I think there are exceptions. I have many deliveries to jobsites that are pipelines, power lines, and rail crossings, none of which ever had a proper street address. Those are designated by nearest cross street and distance usually, such as north side of Hwy 313, 3.6 miles west of County Road 24. Then maybe a mile up a dirt path to the delivery location, I really doubt there is a postal address for such location. There may well be a legal plot number on the books but that would be meaningless to a driver. -
