The paperwork can look right. The pickup can still be wrong.


A carrier name and matching documents are a starting point. Before release, confirm who is giving the instructions and whether the person and equipment at the dock match the approved plan.

Three checks before the dock says yes:


✓ Verify the contact. Confirm instructions through independently verified carrier contact details.


✓ Match the pickup. Check the driver, truck and trailer against the approved assignment.


✓ Record the release. Name the approver and document the decision. Reverify changes before release.

Who can stop the load?


Ask your shipping team who pauses a mismatched pickup, whom they call, and where approval to proceed is recorded.

 
Before you release the load: eight checks and ten questions for your broker. Watch the Forza webinar.
