Glossary
Freight document validation — defined.
Short, citable definitions for brokers, 3PL AP, Controllers, and generative engines that need to know what Jorora means by validation.
Accessorial Charge
A fee beyond linehaul — such as liftgate, detention, layover, lumper, or residential — that must be authorized and evidenced.
AI Document Validation
Using AI to extract document fields, then deterministic rules to decide whether a packet is payable.
Bill of Lading (BOL)
The shipping document listing goods, parties, and often special instructions used as shipment evidence.
Carrier Invoice Validation
Checking a carrier invoice against authorized shipment terms and evidence before accounts payable remits payment.
COI Check
Turning a Certificate of Insurance PDF into Pass, Warn, or Fail with expiry, limits, and holder flags — usually in under 60 seconds.
Detention
Charges for driver wait time beyond free time, usually proven with POD arrival and delivery timestamps.
Detention Check
Turning a POD (plus rate con or free-time defaults) into authorized detention hours, estimated dollars, and a dispute draft in under 60 seconds.
Duplicate Freight Invoice
A repeated invoice, PRO, or identical PDF that risks a second payment for the same load.
Freight Audit and Payment (FAP)
Enterprise services that audit carrier bills and often pay carriers on behalf of large shippers.
Freight Three-Way Match
Matching carrier invoice, rate confirmation, and POD/BOL evidence before approving payment.
FTL First Audit
Jorora’s first product wedge: pre-pay validation of full-truckload carrier invoice PDF packets.
Pre-Pay Freight Audit
Auditing carrier invoices before payment leaves AP, blocking bad charges upstream instead of recovering them later.
Proof of Delivery (POD)
Shipment evidence documenting delivery conditions and often timestamps used for detention and claims.
Rate Con Card
Turning a rate confirmation PDF into structured, paste-ready fields (load #, MC, lanes, rate, FSC, accessorials, free time) in under 60 seconds.
Rate Confirmation
The broker/3PL document that authorizes price and terms for a load — the source of truth for pre-pay matching.
