    What do you mean rat? You are not telling on a fellow driver that he's drinking beer or two at a truck stop. This is strictly business. I would let the bosses know...and I would roll.

    Technically the weight on the BOL is suppose to match the weight on the wagon. In your case probably doesn't matter but? A BOL is a legal document.
    Tell your boss and let them deal with it.
    Would the Canucks in here cross the border like that?

    you scan your BOL AND your weight ticket (assuming CAT scale) so, your genious office people should catch any mistakes and act accordingly, right ?

    I would tell them the next time you're there maybe they don't know their scales are off.
