To answer your question. The shipper bill of lading will statisfy the dot requirement. You creating one would be double worik. That link supplies you with valuable info and is worth reading. In addition make sure you put the bill of lading number and commidity on your log. If you get a picky DOT officer he will cite you on this one. Also make sure you keep a copy of your bill of lading if you are an o/o. During a dot visit they might look at your log book and ask you for the bill of lading that was issued for that load as well as fuel and toll receipts.

 

half of my loads don't have numbers. i've just been using shipper and commodity.
