Bill of Lading (BOL)

The shipping document listing goods, parties, and often special instructions used as shipment evidence.

The BOL supports identity of the load and conditions. Together with POD and the rate confirmation, it helps desks validate whether billed accessorials and delivery claims are supportable before payment.
