Shipper and Consignee are required to sign the B/L
The shipper.
Any shipment requires a bill of lading. If the bill of lading states that it is shipper load and count, it means that it is the shippers responsiblity to make sure that the count is right on the BOL.
Bills of lading are supposedly prepared by the driver, but over the years the responsibility for preparing them has fallen to the shipper--these are "house" bills of lading. In reality, the shipper is better prepared to write BoLs because they know what's in the shipment.
