    Yup. I would have made sure I had that in writing on the QC or in email and then pulled that thing. I don't need someone in that office to leave me stranded somewhere for a few days because "there's no freight" just because I decided to make their day harder. Now I'm not sure if that'd happen, but why risk it. If I had written instruction from company, that's that. But, you guys do you

    Well the thing is they don't give two ####s here at USA the load was already late originally rejected it because I did not have the hours to make it by 1030 this morning then the account manager was gone and they gave it to me anyways so went to hookup early this morning and seal don't match paperwork... Load was already having to be rescheduled HOPEFULLY for just later today.... Would of probably been tomorrow and chances likely been rejected due to the seal not matching anyways.... Bridgestone load of car tires

    I was fed up with this load before I even caught the seal number being wrong... By the way wasn't even close

    They are essentially one and the same now. Both are under DHS as CBP.

    OP, you did the right thing without a doubt.

    If it is any place that can benefit from Border Patrol, they really need to put up something between Triple T and Nogales. There is nothing on that 17 last we ran it I think it's called. 100 miles of blessed rockpile prior to gunland.

    The very last time I was down there loading, people were shooting in earshot. I thought Camden was bad...

    I would be satisfied never to see that cursed town again, what a smuggler's paradise. Laredo is somewhat higher on my list believe it or not.

    Great - you pawned your headache off on another driver that might not even catch it....

    Just for you really new guys that might not know how to handle it... seal is already screwed up. You pop the seal and find whatever stash is a there. If it breathes, you throw another seal it and bring attention to noises you heard inside. If it doesn't breathe, you snatch it, throw a new seal on the trailer, Uber to a FedEx and ship it to yourself... then raise cane about the seal not matching. When you get home, you fence it and pocket the cash.

    On second thought, better to Uber to UPS because if they find that package with your name on it in a wreck it could be very bad.

    Have you pulled this load before? I would think a load of tires out of Mexico would have a lock seal. If the load has one of those 25 cent plastic seals...
    Having said that, I have never had a seal checked.

    Load out of Mexico and the seal doesn't match, wouldn't touch it unless it was a CPB seal.
