Bill of Lading
A bill of lading (BOL) is a document that primarily serves as a legally binding agreement between the carrier and shipper or freight owner. It helps the carrier process the cargo according to the original contract. A bill of lading is presented to the carrier, outlining the individual shipping orders included in a shipment.
Bills of lading are also used internally in a company’s own fleet. The summarized contents loaded to the truck and per stop details are included. This information is used as a confirmation on delivery to the customer.
