Why? The company's name is PSP(He's smart enough to write the actual name of the company). What is on the side of my trailer IS the shipper's name.
Never had a problem writing the company's name in the "Shipper/Commodity" box. DOT never questioned or gave it a second look.
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.

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.

§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.
