In the Yard, we are asked to break the seal to check the load, incase it has infact been booked in incorrectly ( eg, tracked 48 instead of tracked 24)
Is this going against the whole idea of having the seals on for the security aspect, until it would reach the unloading bay? Or am i perhaps being a bit over the top? I'm just thinking as we have contractors and varity of non RM staff in and around the Yard everyday, it seems a bit odd in this way to not keep things as secure as could be?
Granted I understand why we do so, but as far as i can tell it would hold the whole reason for putting the seal there moot
(or perhaps is the seal only for the drivers to worry about while on the road?)
I felt curious to ask why and if anyone here had information on the topic in question, I find myself always wondering.
As i never can tell when they are just cutting corners to stop themselves from sinking or if its genuinely ok.

I thought this was going to be more circus orientated.

Re: seals on trailers question
I'm assuming that you mean the bag ties. If I'm ever working in our SD locker and come across a bag that's been opened or has a hole big enough that something could be potentially taken out I always scan it as being a tampered with bag
