Short answer: Confirm that the buyer is genuine and, where required, licensed, agree the price and unit in writing before the load leaves, watch the weighing or get the docket, and confirm how and when you will be paid, because these checks take minutes and are what protect you from underpayment, wrong weights and sellers who disappear after taking the load.
