to sign their name at the time they assume responsibility for the 
shipment, from point of origin, and at specified stages until delivery 
at destination. A copy of the STR, along with other transportation 
documentation is forwarded by the carrier to the appropriate finance 
center for payment.

    Frequency: On occasion.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The destination transportation officer uses 
the DD Form 1907 to assure that the carriers utilize the STR and 
provide the transportation service as requested by origin shipper. A 
copy of the STR, along with other transportation documentation, is 
forwarded by the carrier to the appropriate finance center for payment. 
The DD Form 1907 verifies the protected services requested in Bill of 
Lading that was provided.
