Narrative:
I was recently made aware of a few possible errors I have made with shipping documentation. It is very possible that I was part of the errors that I was made aware of. Some of these items I absolutely shipped and if I made mistakes I will own up to it. I have had a rough last few months with 3 deaths in my family and 2 break-ins at my house. I know these are not excuses; but I certainly have had other things on my mind. I can see where I may have been distracted and missed some of these items. I have listed below what I was made aware of: entered incorrect airway bill so shipper declaration didn't match. Found in ZZZ - shipper did not put any haz class labels or ltd qty label on the box in question. ZZZ1 questioned weights- weights were more than 10% difference; ZZZ could not accept. Shipper did not weigh boxes of fire extinguishers; took weight from previous shipments. Company talked with all crew about weighing boxes every time. ZZZ2 cargo notified company ops that a truck shipment that was set for a flight had 4 pieces on shippers declaration; but dangerous goods form said 2 pieces. Station redid shipper declaration send to cargo to move shipment. Found shipper left off 2.2 haz label; covered DOT-sp label with the 5.1 haz label; all labels poor condition. I would like to add that if the [company safety rep] rep would not have talked to me; I would not have known that I was allowed to file this report.
