gross, or net weights.

    (4) The company or carrier identification of the vehicle.

    (5) The last name of the individual shipper as it appears on the 

bill of lading.

    (6) The carrier's shipment registration or bill of lading number.

ticket may be used to record both weighings.

    (c) As part of the file on the shipment, you must retain the 

original weight ticket or tickets relating to the determination of the 

weight of a shipment.

    (d) All freight bills you present to an individual shipper must 

include true copies of all weight tickets obtained in the determination 

of the shipment weight in order to collect any shipment charges 

dependent upon the weight transported.
