Test Your Knowledge of Load Documentation: Answers
Test Yourself quiz answers:
1. c: Delivery appointment time – Certain items are required on a bill of lading under 373.101 applicable to for-hire common carriers. These required items help determine the cost of the shipment if there is not a contract in place. The appointment time does not factor into the final cost of the load for rating purposes.
2. b: False. A driver hauling hazardous material must ensure that properly marked, hard-copy shipping papers in compliance with 177.817 are readily available to authorities in the event of an accident or inspection. When operating the vehicles, the shipping papers must be within the driver’s reach and either readily visible to a person entering the cab or in a holder inside of the driver’s door. When the driver is not at the vehicle’s controls, the shipping papers must be in a holder inside of the driver’s side door or on the driver’s seat in the vehicle.
3. a: The detention of a vehicle beyond a specified time.
4. d: At least one year. A non-hazardous material bill of lading must be retained by a carrier for one year from the date of the document, or until any claim or dispute involving the transportation of freight based upon the document is resolved (Part 379).
