Shipper:

The customer who is shipping the freight. This is where the driver will pick up a load and then deliver it to the receiver or consignee.

My lightest load was 2 tarps and all the assorted hardware for a couple of side dump trailers. Maybe 500 pounds total that went from Helena to Spokane. Probably would have been cheaper for them to buy new tarps for those trailers.

HOS refers to the logbook hours of service regulations.
