This VAW Dock Audit checklist guides shipping and warehouse teams through safe, compliant dock operations. It verifies dock constraints and trailer readiness, confirms driver sign-in and logs, and checks for trailer damage before loading. Auditors reference the loading diagram, match shipping details with actual trailer numbers, pre-count racks in staging, and scan each loaded stack with clear serial photos. Each rack number is checked and initialed on the shipping summary, shipping lanes are confirmed clear, and a rear photo validates safe loading. Bills of lading are signed to complete the shipment, followed by auditor and forklift operator sign-off.
