Freight Dispatching Terminology Practice Test

In a Shipper Load and Count (SLC) arrangement, who counts contents at pickup?

The carrier The consignee The broker The shipper

Correct Answer:

The shipper

Explanation:

In Shipper Load and Count, the party responsible for counting the contents at pickup is the shipper. This arrangement means the shipper verifies exactly what is loaded and records that quantity on the bill of lading, and the carrier simply transports based on that documented count. The consignee is generally involved at delivery, not at pickup, and the broker is not the one performing the physical count. The core idea is that the shipper owns the counting responsibility and documentation when the goods are loaded.
