Never had a problem writing the company's name in the "Shipper/Commodity" box. DOT never questioned or gave it a second look.

Can't remember the name of that company. Does it include a reference to the "commodity"....other than food? Not sure if that would be enough.
Better run it by Mike M first!
Not sure if I would want to hump all that freight, doing multiple stops a day, just to avoid writing down a few numbers..... but, it IS tempting!

Okay, Dude! :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:
The requirement is for shipper AND commodity. Down here we have Food Lion trucks. Putting Food Lion on the Logsheet wouldn't necessarily satisfy the requirement. They don't always transport food, and they sure don't transport lions!
But, you're making enough money to pay the fines if you run across Trooper Dial, so whatever....:rolleyes:

I sometimes have 8-12 stops a day on my trailer and to try and fit every BOL number on the logbook page is pretty tough.

Sometimes...I might have two BOL numbers to write down in a week. Sometimes I might even have two Shippers names too write down in a week. A couple times this year I even had to write done two BOL numbers in one day!!! :eek::eek:
Luckily on MOST of those days it was only one shipper.

As mentioned by Rev, it's Shipper & Commodity.
Depending on how your company keeps records you could be hurting your employer. Whereas, your employer has to provide the BOLs, logs, fuel receipts, toll receipts, and any other supporting documents for a 30 day period for each trip when the DOT performs a compliance review. The investigator has to be reasonably satisfied all documents ssociated with a trip were presented with the log.
Quote:
Question 14: What documents satisfy the requirement to show a shipping document number on a record of duty status as found in §395.8(d)(11)?
Guidance: The following are some of the documents acceptable to satisfy the requirement: shipping manifests, invoices/freight bills, trip reports, charter orders, special order numbers, bus bills or any other document that identifies a particular movement of passengers or cargo.
In the event of multiple shipments, a single document will satisfy the requirement. If a driver is dispatched on a trip, which is subsequently completed, and then is dispatched on another trip on that calendar day, two shipping document numbers or two shippers and commodities must be shown in the remarks section of the record of duty status.

Quote:
§395.8 Driver's record of duty status.
(k) Retention of driver's record of duty status. (1) Each motor carrier shall maintain records of duty status and all supporting documents for each driver it employs for a period of six months from the date of receipt.
|
MB had too many reviews where carriers learned supporting documents are difficult to find when requested.
Be safe.

Good point Stanley! Chew on this one.........................
At the bottom of my log sheets...............for the past 3 years.........without exception:
From: Indianapolis, IN To: Indianapolis, IN
Stan, if you end up with more than two BOLs to write down. Always feel free to call me at HOME for further guidance.
