If you add bailing wire and super glue to the mix you can come close, LoL.
How do you not notice? You could easily tell the trailer is a lot lighter the moment you move. I always check my seal anytime I stop, even if I stay in the truck. Just in case someone breaks it, or anything I'll know right away and can report it asap.

At U.S. Xpress we have what are known as high value loads. The driver must call and speak with a fleet manager (dispatcher) for verbal instructions before moving the load. They tell you that you must drive X amount of miles before stopping and tell you you can't stop at certain locations, etc. Do other companies have similar rules for high value loads?

This is why carriers are so strict. 20 pallets of product goes missing from the trailer and the driver didnt notice?
He is either a thief or stupid.
For those of you who haven't driven yet, a driver should know how much their empty truck and trailer weighs. When you get bills that say 40,000 pounds of product and the truck only weighs a total of 45k pounds, something is wrong. i recently picked up a trailer from our drop yard. The bills said 2900 pounds. We were on the scale that said 77k. That meant I was 40k pounds over what the bills said. Turned out I wasn't given all of the bills.
Good drivers take the time to learn and pay attention to bills and weights. Stupid ones just sign bills and drive. I would love to hear how he is going to try to defend this.
They didnt say anything about the seal either.
