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.

If a freight shipment is refused due to no seal on load who is responsible shipper or carrier?

The carrier is responsible if there is a seal number noted on the bill of lading. It is ultimately the responsibility of the driver to make sure the seal number noted is on the load before leaving the shipper. If there is no seal noted on the bill of lading, the shipper is responsible.


What is the validity of bill of lading?

The bill of lading is perfectly valid so long as the source of it is.A bill of lading simply states the commodity being shipped, quantity, shipping weight, special instructions, seal number (if applicable), etc.While it states what should be present during shipping and delivery to the recipient, a bill of lading in no way guarantees that mistakes cannot be made during the loading of the commodity into the shipping container/trailer, nor does it absolve parties involve of responsibility for overages, shortage, or damage to the commodity as a result of mishandling or improper load securement.
