Shipper/Bill Of Lading in logbook
Was wondering if it is required to fill out the Shipper/B.O.L info in the logbook.
I was listening to America's trucking network and they had a guy from JJ Keller on and he mentioned a few things that you didnt need to fill out such as starting & ending location, so it got me curious. 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. |

(d) The following information must be included on the form in addition to the grid: (d)(1) Date; (d)(2) Total miles driving today; (d)(3) Truck or tractor and trailer number; (d)(4) Name of carrier; (d)(5) Driver's signature/certification; (d)(6) 24 hour period starting time (e.g., midnight, 9:00 a.m., noon, 3:00 p.m.); (d)(7) Main office address; (d)(8) Remarks; (d)(9) Name of co driver; (d)(10) Total hours (far right edge of grid); and (d)(11) Shipping document number(s), or name of shipper and commodity. Under the interpretation, there may be some relief for you: Quote:

We use trip numbers. Every move has a number assigned to it even an empty move of 3 miles.

Oh yeah, you need to fill in that info.I got cited with a warning at the i 40 port of entry in new mexico for not having that info put it.Also, before the new mexico incident i had the same thing at the scale in misouri before joplin.I thought it was up to each individual scale but obviously it isn't like that.My idea was that the less info you put on the log book the better so they'll not have to look up to.Obviously, i was wrong and lucky i learned with only two warnings.

Where it says "Shipper/Commodity" at the bottom of the page, just write PSP;). All I do is write the name that is on the side of my trailer;)

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