We picked up a trailer at oak creek, wi my trainer took the paper work I guess he did not verify trailer # with bill if lading we went to springfield then to Laredo, tx we get here we found out we had the wrong trailer the items we have is marked for port land, or so his DM did some magic and now we are in our way to Portland. What did I learn from this as a trainee is always verify bill lading against trailer number
Wrong trailer

Make sure you are going to Oregon...not Maine!
Southpaw7391 and American-Trucker Thank this. -
Hmmm....
I'm wondering who is going to get hit with that bill?
Maybe the trainer manned up and took responsibility.
No way in hell is the company going to eat it. -
He did but the shipper said that since his guy said u trailer is Outside and did not verify before we left they will pay for it also this was a hazmat load
-
LOL,that's funny.Maybe you should be the trainer jdsouza.I have never did that.But I heard it does happen.I double check the BOL.Sounds like the dispatcher did'nt get too angry about it.

i had the same deal almost, i macth up the trl numbers on the bill, macth the seal numbers, sealed load pick up and run, i said ok, so i did all the way from nw washtion state too gorgia, one there, thats when the poo hit the fan, they loaded the wroung product in the trailer and that product went to texas , oops,
so dm did some majic and some faxing for new bills, i was good too go again,
-
I dont even hook up till I verify the number ans seal
-
Thats funny, I dont care who yar lol How did we make it THAT far without anyone noticing? You always verify the trailer numbers. Still funny though. Hilarious actually
-
Not as bad as the driver I worked with, he hooked up a trailer ran all the way to Columbus OH.... He was suppose to have an empty trailer, he pulled a fully loaded trailer,
To this day I still can't understand how he could not tell the difference between a 35k lb trailer, and an empty, let alone it screamed volumes about his pre trip technique -
I dont think "technique" can be used in this situation lol
Southpaw7391 Thanks this.
