Frequently Asked Questions
What is a bill of lading (BOL)?
A bill of lading is the legal document the shipper issues to the carrier listing the goods, origin, destination, and terms. It is a receipt for the goods, a contract of carriage, and (in some cases) a document of title.
Truck bill of lading template — what fields are required?
Shipper and consignee details, carrier and pro number, BOL number and date, itemized pieces / weight / class / NMFC, hazmat designation if any, freight charge terms (prepaid / collect / 3rd party), and signatures.
Bill of lading vs delivery note — same thing?
A BOL is a freight document between shipper and carrier with legal weight (contract of carriage). A delivery note is a simpler proof-of-delivery document between supplier and customer.
