[QUOTE="raceanoncr, post: 1048119, member: 6408"] Absolutely agree! I ain't comfortable filling out my own seal control paperwork, either, AT A HUB. THEY are supposed to know and do, however, there were some hubs we were at that do things completely diff. At our local hub, dr supes are sposed to lock and seal w/proper paperwork attached to dr along with pouch. In Denver, the stuff is sitting on floor of trailer, you drive up to rent-a-cop station, hand stuff to them, they take back and seal trailer. Neat system, huh? In Louky, stuff is hanging somewhere (it's always a treasure hunt) inside trailer. You take it, snap it and head to shack. In St Paul, it was usually inside back dr right in orange plastic pouch on roller frame support. Others, I know, are different. So much for being on the same page, huh. AND, invariably, we had a prob at least once a week and had to go inside and get it changed. No, we didn't change on our own, we made THEM do it. However, here, HERE, we have many trailer pickups and outlying centers that would classify as BFE. Most of these have to cross one, two or more scales. At a pickup, most could care less what you do with the trailer, just as long as you get it back and processed. Scale? In most cases, scale people don't care, either, they just want it legal and safe. What do you do? FORCE the pickup to fill out some paperwork? Ain't gonna happen. Wouldn't it be easier to just fill it out yerself and be on your way? At least you KNOW it's correct, right? As for little center out in the weeds, yes, it IS their job also to know every phase of their job. But wait, what about when the Phantom center manager is gone by 4 PM for happy hour (I say Phantom because we all know that in most cases, these little centers are "managed" by a traveling center manager). Just TRY to get the PT supe, left to take care of everything from customer counter to swabbing the floors to unloading trailers or package cars to even KNOW what a seal control is, let alone fill one out. In our case, it was just easier to just do it ourselves. No, I certainly don't mind waiting for someone else to do it but I think we are all smart enuff and been here long enuff where we know what to do efficiently.

Even THEY knew that was the wise course. Why? Getting some of these small center people to follow directions was, well, difficult, to say the least. So, yes, I DO believe in doing the right thing, and with this company, for my own protection. But, there are just some times when you HAVE to take responsiblity and do it yourself. LEGALLY! [/QUOTE]
