Bills of Lading:
The Bill of Lading (BOL) is the primary proof of what you have
picked up and what you have delivered. You must carefully review all
bills of lading for any discrepancy.
At the Shipper:
1. If you are picking up a load that is sealed before you arrive,
or loaded so that you are unable to count the pieces or pallets,
you must be sure that the BOL is designated SHIPPER LOAD
COUNT (SLC) beside your name, get the shipper’s signature on
the BOL after designating the load SLC and be certain that you
do not confirm any count.
2. If the BOL states that a load is DRIVER LOAD AND COUNT
(DLC), you must count the pieces loaded onto your trailer and
note the number on the BOL.
