    Unilever in Edwardsville used to have a scale on outbound side before you got to the gate. If overweight, they sent you back to a dock to have it corrected. Wouldn't let you leave overweight. Depended on which guard was on duty if you could get axle weights. Some would, some refused

    I had a load that had ta seal number on the BOL, but the seal wasn’t on the trailer doors. Went to the guard post and advised them, he told to just go ahead and leave. I said nope.
    Then he wanted me to open the trailer and look for the seal on the floor, again I responded, no.
    Finally after a few minutes he exited the building with a seal in his hand, different number than on my BOL. Made him send the BOL back to the shipping office and have it updated.
    Took me 30 extra minutes to get their mistake corrected.
