Air carrier ground personnel reported receiving improperly configured ground shipments containing DG that also lacked appropriate documentation.
Truck from ZZZ1 to ZZZ. Arrived in ZZZ at XA:36 and was unloaded by XC:08 ATA (Actual Time Arrival) in [the system]. Total of 184 pieces at 22;077 lb. on the truck consisting of 11 AWB (Airway Bill). When the truck arrived in ZZZ it was found that AWB with DG were incorrectly loaded into the truck. Boxes of dangerous goods in excepted quantities; and lithium ion batteries otherwise excepted from the IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations; were stacked on top of other cargo and unsecured to anything. At arrival in ZZZ the loose boxes of DG had shifted during transport. ZZZ carefully downstacked the loose boxes and checked for damage that may have occurred during transport on the truck. No damage to the DG boxes has been reported at this time.On further inspection of the AWB document; I found that [one] AWB has 1 box of lithium ion batteries that does not show in the system. I have been able to confirm that the shipment dose indeed has one box of lithium ion batteries. ZZZ has separated the 2 AWB now to double-check to make sure that there are no other discrepancies. ZZZ2 is closed today but I have reached out to Person A. AWB with DG.
