[QUOTE="Dracula, post: 1047764, member: 42691"] You ALWAYS need those seal controls that you find in the back of the trailer. Any trailer that you are carrying needs to have a seal control paper. When you swap trailers, you need to get and sign your name on the form from the trailer you are picking up from the other drivers. I'm surprised the other driver you swap out with doesn't ask you for the ones you started with. I take a set of doubles to another hub. I have a separate seal control for each trailer I carry. When I get to the hub I'm going to, the driver that takes my trailers isn't there yet, so I drop the set and put each seal control in the king box for each respective trailer. Never leave a hub without a seal control for every trailer. The hubs will put, or SHOULD put, any haz mat labels in the pouch. By law, that has to be in the cab of the tractor. So, to answer your question, the scales probably will ask to see your seal control pouches and match the seal on the trailer to the number on the seal control. You will probably be fined if you don't have it. Never leave a hub without these forms. Never get rushed and forget it. Lots of times the hub will jam your trailers and that seal control will get lost, or the actual seal will get busted, bent or broke in the load. It is up to you to go find a sup, either a hub sup or one of yours to get a new seal. We had a driver that noticed some hazmat packages in his trailer, but no labels in his seal control pouch. He refused to pull the trailer, and it was well within his right to do so. He left without the trailer, and the hub ended up having to unload the trailer, causing a trailer-load of service failures. Turns out there was 16 different hazmat packages on the trailer, and one was leaking. Sure, they were pissed, but so what? It was their fault. It sounds like you need to touch base with some experienced drivers to get some more tips, because it's pretty bad that you didn't know the ins and outs of the seal controls. Someone, not sure who, but someone dropped a big ball in your case. Again, talk to some older drivers and get their advice on this stuff, because it's your ass hanging in the wind, not UPS's.
