As that freight is drop & hook the drivers name is not important. What is needed is the name of the cargo inspector who’s job it is to inspect the load. close the doors,seal the trailor. The driver is payed by the day to pick up a sealed trailor and could care less what is in it. Bring it to America and drop it at the right pick up location.
