A Friendly Reminder

This morning at 11:17 I received a truck specific QC message. I wasn't sleeping, I was driving to a pickup. I quick glanced at the message and saw it was a REQUEST FOR PRO PAPERWORK and read no further. On the way to the shipper I wondered what paperwork could possibly be missing. I closed out my year the other day, all loads had paid out or were in the pipeline to pay. Everything was accounted for.

I had to wait for the end of lunch break at the shipper so I read the QC message in its entirety.

REQUEST FOR PRO PAPERWORK

REQUIRED PAPERWORK HAS NOT
BEEN RECEIVED FOR:
PRO# 201301*****
DELIVERED 01-02-13
PLEASE SUBMIT YOUR PAPERWORK AS
SOON AS POSSIBLE. THANK YOU
AND PLEASE BE SAFE

I delivered this load 1-2-13 at 23:40 and 11 hours and 37 minutes after delivery they are hounding me for paperwork. This is the same company that will put you on a Safety Hold and not tell you. I like starting off the new year with back to back loads but I don't want to deal with this crap after every load. Is ABF putting the screws to them for money or is it something less sinister?

I know this post should be in the carrier forum but hardly anyone ever visits my carrier's forum.

Maybe they have software that looks for any missing paperwork without it checking dates and it just sends out a message when they tell it to for the end of the year.

I found US Express very demanding... Right down to part numbers and piece count.
I've had two cups of coffee and I still don't get it. How do you feel about Shane's practice of running 70 psi all around?

Another friendly reminder. The St Louis Post Dispatch had new laws for Ill posted. One saying Cellular phone use is prohibited in ALL commercial vechiles.

That's hand held cell phones.
