A filled-in DD Form 1907 example: a sealed shipment handed from the Shipper to two carriers

DD Form 1907 example filled out, example: a sealed shipment handed from the Shipper to two carriers
The Shipper fills in Section I for a sealed load, so Box 14 holds a conveyance identification and seal number and not a package type. This example assumes that a person for the Origin Carrier accepts custody on line 1 on 20260105, the date in Box 11, and a person for the Destination Carrier accepts custody on line 2 on 20260106; each signs the Box 16c line next to the entries. The form names the Consignee only in the distribution instructions and in Box 4a; it does not say whether the Consignee signs a custody line, so the Consignee has no line here. The form does not say what to write in Boxes 2, 10 or 15, so this example puts made-up words there; a real form needs the entries the shipment requires. The form prints no units for Boxes 8, 9 or 13 and no time format for Box 16d, so those numbers and the 4-digit clock times are assumptions of this example. Every name, number and date is made up.
