Load Controller-LMC's freight question
I was just wondering the other day about LMC freight/cargo. We often accepted LM pax but what would a LC do about a request to load LM freight or cargo and how much notice do you LCs need if that LMC is dangerous goods.
I assume only a recognised freight agent can deliver freight for transit and that they check that the freight is not on the DG list or precautions are taken. Would a LC accept the paperwork that comes from the agent or would, as I would think, the LC check the goods personally in a LMC case?
My understanding is the commander must have a written DG notice at anytime DGs are loaded.
