What happens when you get pulled over and you dont have a bill of lading on you?

I have seen those aluminum BOL, etc., holders where you can store papers inside them too. 17.00 but would keep everything neat and in one place.

 

so you guys that are OTR, a bill of landing is basically the delivery receipt showing what you have on your truck right? i'm guessing you might have a few papers but not tons?? what i dont understand is how the f do you lose that or not get it. i go out with so much paper work a day each delivery has 3 copies, i need every single one, i have 20 stops or so a day so you do the math and i've only lost a piece of paper once. on top of that cash or checks from COD's, return slips for returned product, and a daily log book.

i'm just trying to wrap my head around losing one delivery slip.

 

Hey Romans612....that Jesus thing you got posted really hurts my eyes, it is so big and bright.

 

maybe its just me i keep my paper work in perfect shape i never leave old invoices in my truck or anything. i just wish my work ethic carried over to doing house chores

 

And in my case folding those #### tarps properrly........Although,I have never lost a BOL in almost 7 yrs.

 

Give it time though,I never rule ANYTHING out.

 

Go to a stationary store and buy a Bill of Lading book.

Legally, it's the CARRIER that issues a Bill of Lading. Not the shipper although a lot of shippers PREPARE the document.

The load is never accepted until the CARRIER or his agent signs the document.

If you doubt what I say, ask a DOT or Lawyer who LEGALLY issues the BOL.
