[QUOTE="retiredTxfeeder, post: 3838741, member: 52978"] In a situation like that, some of the drivers I worked with had their own answer. We went into the hub got a new book of seal controls (feeders had them as well) and a handful of all kinds of seals, yellow plastic, metal tape, cable, etc. Kept them in my bag. There are situations that you have to seal the trailer up and there just isn't any management around to do it. I'd call dispatch, tell them what's going on and ask if I can make up a new seal. They would always say yes. I never had an issue in 29 years. An example: It rarely happens, but if you get pulled over by the DOT or go through a weigh station and get an inspection, they could ask you to cut the seal off a trailer to check your hazmats or if the load is secured with a load retainer. Of course, I'm sure something like carrying your own seals and seal control book is never done anymore.:speechless: [/QUOTE]
