In multi-stop deliveries, the contractor must provide sufficient number of seals to ensure the conveyance is secured after each delivery destination. It is the responsibility of the contractor's agent or the truck driver to seal the trailer after delivering each multi-stop shipment. The receiving organization has no responsibility to inspect, document or otherwise support seal application on a multi-stop delivery.
