Fingerprint is the reverse of 'no-touch'

Basically it means the truck driver get to hand load/unload the cargo. In other words put fingerprints on the load.

Ok, was starting to think it was something like that. Now the joke makes since, and that'd suck for sure. I nearly had to "fingerprint" the delivery of an order of 240,000 burlap sacks, in bundles. Glad that went freight allowed and handled by their trucks...

RE: 240,000 burlap sacks

>And what Southern dress factory was that going to ??

lol, well over here the state still uses some burlap sacks for sandbagging. Another benifit is the bags were empty for sure. But the bundles were in 1,000 count and weighed aprox. 300# (thats still 240 bundles)... Basically this count produced 3 full 53' trailer loads surely right at gross on those 80,000# trucks...
btw, this was an account I handled as a warehouse manager (actually this was my order from quote to invoicing)
