We have experienced picking up the wrong loads and delivering the wrong product at delivery sites recently.
As a truck driver, when you sign the Bill of Lading, you and the company are taking full responsibility of what you have loaded on or in the trailer. Before you sign, take a quick look, do the numbers match what dispatch gave you, does the destination match? If not, ask the shipper or call dispatch. Always call your dispatch if bills don’t match, number doesn’t match, or something doesn’t look right. It may take a few more minutes, but it will save time. Nobody wants to get the run-around if we load the wrong product, including not getting paid for the load.
Please be aware of what you are signing your name for.
