From a high level, a bill of lading is a required document to move a freight shipment. The bill of lading is legally binding and provides the driver and the carrier with all the details needed to process and invoice the freight shipment correctly.
A bill of lading document usually includes the freight’s final destination, the contact information for all parties involved, special instructions for the freight from the shipper, special instructions for the freight from the receiver, signatures anytime freight exchanges hands, and records of the condition of freight at each hand-off point.
