BOL
Bill of Lading
In short
BOL stands for Bill of Lading. It's the main document for a load: what you're hauling, how much, from whom, and to whom.
In plain words
It's like handing your wife the restaurant receipt after a business trip.
Every line has to add up. Otherwise, questions.
The driver signs it at pickup, and the receiver signs it at delivery.
If anything is damaged or missing, it gets written right on the BOL.
Without this paper, it's like the load never moved.
