So what if the label happened to have all the ink on it "somehow" disappear?

As in, one day the shipping label is completely normal, when it gets picked up basically. However whilst sitting in the depot waiting to be picked up to be moved to the next place, the label "somehow" turns blank. Completely blank. Just a plain sheet of paper.

The moment packages reach the carrier's depot, they're not left lying around awaiting attention. It doesn't operate on the same principle as the collection point- waiting for the carrier to collect It.

At the depot, packages, pallets, skids etc are recorded the moment the driver drops off his consignment. It's only then that they're allocated to their respective section and kept In storage until the driver loads them In his van for his scheduled deliver run.
