I am a trucking dispatcher with a few years of experience. Please pay attention to the language he uses.

MY trailer. MY dock. Truckers are methodical. Good truckers are VERY methodical. Truckers are all about routine. Your paperwork the same way EVERY time. You do your pre-trip the same way EVERY time. You do everything the SAME every time because if you don't, you're going to miss a step, and then you're going to get a BOL that's wrongly signed, or you're going to drop a load in the wrong place, or miss a key component of your pre-trip inspection.

The fact that this was so completely WRONG in comparison to every single other offload this guy has done is exactly why this would stick out in his head. When something goes wrong, a driver had better remember what happened and let dispatch know if they call him about it, because 9 times out of 10 if there's a problem it's going to get shunted onto the carrier, and the carrier's going to take it out on the driver.

These fuckers messed with democracy. They messed with America.

Worse still...

These fuckers messed with a trucker's trailer.

Bill of Lading. Every single load in the country is supposed to have one describing where your load came from, who it is going to, who paid for it, who the carrier is, how much product is there, what kind of product it is, etc.
