Which item on the shipping papers is used to verify the driver’s identity?

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

Answer: (D)

Driver identity is verified on shipping papers by the signature because a personal mark attaches a specific individual to the document, confirming they are the one responsible for the shipment and have reviewed and accepted the details. This signature provides accountability and can be cross-checked with the driver’s records or license if needed. The other items relate to the vehicle, location, or cargo quantity, not to who is personally responsible for the shipment. Thus, the driver’s signature is the mechanism used to confirm who is in charge.
