18 October 2013 Hi

A bill of lading is a record of traded goods which have been received on board. It is a document that establishes an agreement between a shipper and a transportation company for the transportation of goods. Transportation Company (carrier) issues these records to a shipper. A bill of lading indicates the particular carrier through which the goods have been placed to their final destination, and the conditions for transporting the shipment to its final destination. Land, ocean and air are the means used for bills of lading.

18 October 2013 a required document to
move a freight shipment. The bill of lading (BOL)
works as a receipt of freight services, a contract
between a freight carrier and shipper and a
document of title. The bill of lading is a legally
binding document providing the driver and the
carrier all the details needed to process the
freight shipment and invoice it correctly.
When a customer books a shipment with
Freightquote, the bill of lading is automatically
generated based on the shipment details entered
during the quoting and booking process. The bill
of lading should be provided to the carrier on pick
up and will be delivered to the consignee on
delivery.
