If you are require and it has been stated by your company, the shipper , or receiver, and it has a note on the BOL yes you have to, however most shipper/receivers don't permit drivers inside the dock door, when in doubt ask the person in the window that you will be handing your BOL to, hope this helps, ...out

Shipper:

The customer who is shipping the freight. This is where the driver will pick up a load and then deliver it to the receiver or consignee.

And if your instructions and what they are telling you on the dock are totally different, call your fleet manager. They will work it out for you. That way you are not liable for any mistakes. (Get them to send the instruction over the Qualcomm for sake of keeping records.)

Qualcomm:

Omnitracs (a.k.a. Qualcomm) is a satellite-based messaging system with built-in GPS capabilities built by Qualcomm. It has a small computer screen and keyboard and is tied into the truck’s computer. It allows trucking companies to track where the driver is at, monitor the truck, and send and receive messages with the driver – similar to email.

Fleet Manager:

Dispatcher, Fleet Manager, Driver Manager

The primary person a driver communicates with at his/her company. A dispatcher can play many roles, depending on the company's structure. Dispatchers may assign freight, file requests for home time, relay messages between the driver and management, inform customer service of any delays, change appointment times, and report information to the load planners.
