    Q- am I required to have a physical BOL for every load? I got a repowered load without one, just instructions on the Qualcomm. My DM said she would look into it. Im just nervous about DOT.

    Yup. BOL is required. Stop at a truck stop and pick up a few blank ones. Fill in the info you have and if you don't know the contents of the load put "1 truckload" and a general description of the type of freight or commodity. Problem solved.

    I have always kept a Strait Bill of Lading pad in the truck for that reason.

    Why not have your dispatch call the shipper and have them fax you one when you are shut down at a truck stop..

    I would have not accepted the trailer if the BOL was missing.. was the seal still intact?
