Which item must drivers fill out on the shipping papers?

• A. Truck number
• B. Location
• C. Driver signature
• D. Quantity of preservatives by packages

Answer: (C)

The driver’s signature is required because it provides a formal acknowledgement and accountability for the shipment. By signing, the driver confirms that the shipping papers accurately describe the load and that they are authorized and prepared to transport it. This creates a verifiable record that can be used during inspections, investigations, or audits to show who was responsible for the shipment at the time of transport. Other details like truck number, location, or quantities are important, but the act that confirms the driver’s responsibility and acceptance of the shipment is the signature.
