BOL or shipping paper requirements.

Dang.. this site says it's the carriers responsiblity.. and since I'm subcontracted, yep, it's probably on me.

Thanks for the reply.. understandable to have extra BOL sheets on hand if shipping papers are missing. Aren't shipping papers required by law for every shipment? I guess that is my question, and wouldn't it be the shipper or consignee's responsibility? Seems kind of strange to do pickups without receiving paperwork while with the shipper. Loads are not locked or even sealed and it seems like a huge driver liability.

So I just started for a company as a independent contractor. I pickup palleted freight from a warehouse and haul it back to my terminal. I was surprised when no paper work was given and my supervisor said that they are not required to have paperwork for these loads.? Hmm different from anything I have ever heard. Are there certain exemptions? This is prepackaged freight with shipping labels already tagged.
