What is the definition of a seal number on a bill of lading?
A seal is a thing used to prove to the consignee the trailer hasn't been opened en route. They come in three basic varieties: aluminum band seals, plastic band seals and "high security" seals. Every seal has a serial number. When a trailer is shipped sealed, the shipper will issue the driver a seal and he will record its number on the bill of lading. The driver will close the trailer doors and apply the seal to one of the hasps on the right-hand door. At the consignee's end, their freight clerk will match the number on the bill to the number on the seal on your trailer. If they match, you're good to go.
