What is the first number to look for on the driver trip sheet when the truck arrives?

The trailer seal number is crucial for ensuring the integrity of the load being delivered. Upon arrival, the first thing to verify is that the seal number on the trailer matches the documented seal number on the driver trip sheet. This check helps confirm that the trailer has not been tampered with during transit and that the proper product is being delivered as intended.

By confirming the seal number, you ensure that the contents of the trailer are secure and accounted for, reducing the risk of discrepancies between what was shipped and what is being delivered. This step is essential for maintaining accurate inventory control and accountability within the supply chain.

In contrast, while delivery time, driver's ID, and route number are also important details to check, they do not directly address the immediate security and integrity of the shipment as the seal number does.
