You are hauling a sealed, pre-loaded trailer. What are you still responsible for?
- A.Nothing, the shipper sealed it
- B.Only the condition of the seals
- C.Opening the trailer and restacking the load
- D.Making sure the load does not exceed legal gross and axle weights and that the trailer itself is safe to haul
Correct answer
D. Making sure the load does not exceed legal gross and axle weights and that the trailer itself is safe to haul
Why
A seal means you cannot inspect or rearrange the contents, but the legal limits and the roadworthiness of the vehicle are still the driver's responsibility. If it is overweight, the ticket and the risk are yours.
