Last I knew everything was to be reweighed. Sound like a lot of barns missing out on some easy money
After a reweigh, the weight isn't corrected in time for the manifest to come out right. At least on outbound that's how it is. Silly that we have all this "technology" but if you want an accurate manifest, you have to write in the weight after you shut it down. I don't bother unless it's over about 1000 pounds difference on one bill, but the difference in multiple shipments can add up fast too.
All I know is at my barn they are hot and heavy on the reweighs and if a dock work see a huge difference in weight he tell the fos to correct it right in the system. There was a time he wouldn't correct because he wanted the credit for the reweigh till one night he got burned. They loaded a trailer close to 24k and when he went to close it it shot up to 32k there was one bill that weighted 6k heavier then billed. Well rework trailer and two late dispatches later he learned his lesson.
: is out of control.
That is odd. Also odd...how does a shipment leave a customer without a pro?
Does that happen? If for some reason I had no pro stickers or bill of lading with me, I’d get dispatch to fax one. I guess the customer could also print one out? I didn’t spend enough time in the city to know all the situations you come across.
Shipper load and counts.
That is frustrating.
Had you bought the jackpot-winning ticket, you’d be forced to leave this wonderful career...and who wants to do that?
