At destination, drivers must “check-in” upon arrival at Shipper’s or consignee’s designated facility. The designated facility’s personnel will review and verify the shipment’s documentation and driver’s credentials. The seal may be broken only after it has been examined and verified by a representative of Xxxxxxx’s or consignee’s designated facility. In the event that an original security seal is broken by a regulatory person (e.g., scale personnel, police, border personnel, etc.), a replacement security seal must be placed on the door, hatch, or opening that had been originally sealed. In addition, the circumstances pertaining to the seal removal and the replacement of a new seal must be documented on the Bill of Lading along with the regulatory person’s name and identification or badge number. The original broken seal must be retained and provided to Shipper or Shipper’s designated facility’s receiving personnel to compare against the Bill of Xxxxxx’s recorded information.

Upon the breaking of the seal by any regulatory personnel, the driver must request that the regulatory person return the broken seal and such seal must be retained and provided to Shipper or Xxxxxxx’s designated facility’s receiving personnel to compare against the Bill of Lading’s recorded information.

Equipment used for transport of LTL, partial loads or courier services must be kept secure during transit to Shipper’s or consignee’s designated facility by locks or by locking. Broker should take necessary steps to enable the designated facility’s personnel, upon delivery of the shipment, to inspect the shipment’s physical integrity including, but not limited to, counting cases, counting of pallets, recording on the shipment’s Bill of Lading the number and types of damaged and/or missing items. In addition to any notations indicated on the Bill of Lading or delivery receipt, the designated facility’s personnel may take pictures or video tapings of the condition of the items to verify the item’s condition including, but not limited to, the trailer and other equipment used to make the delivery of the items.
