    Hard to say. If the driver did not know the procedure he might have left them in the bill box. If not, then they are inside.

    A t-call is a transfer, usually done at a terminal or drop lot.
    If at a terminal you bring in the paperwork to the dispatch window after you do your 'arrived at final destination' macro. No empty call macro is necessary, the dispatcher finishes it up from there.

    If you drop the load at a drop yard you'll probably put the paperwork in the trailer nose box, or give it to the security guard if there is one. There might be instructions with such a load to let you know what to do.
    Again, do the mac 5 but not the mac 6.
    You might want to follow up with a message or call to your DM to let them know you delivered and to give them your new PTA.

    I have never sent a MAC 5 on a t-call load at a terminal. Tried once and was told that I was not at the final. Since then, never again. Same with dropping in a drop yard. If like St Louis, give the paperwork to the guard, he enters into the computer that I am there and that I dropped it. I remember the one that we have somewhere out side Nashville, and there, put it in the box on the nose and just send a freeform.

    This ... Mac 5 is for the final on the load.

    It happens to us also ... You need to let a DM know so they can update your mt call and attach the mt trailer to you, if you picked one up, so you can be dispatched on your next load.
