Bill Of Lading Insert Electronic Signature For Free

The bill of lading (BOL) 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.

?When a carrier signs the bill of lading, the carrier becomes the owner of the merchandise. They will then transfer ownership to the consignee. That's why it's a very important document.?

Electronic bills of lading take that document and digitize it creating a document that can be signed and stored in a one-step process on a touch screen digital device.

For a BOL to be legal in many countries, it needs to exist in hard copy, even if a digital copy already exists. A paperless BOL document created and shared via EDI is not legally a ?bill of lading? until it's printed ? so even digital ?paperless? BOLs require a physical record to be valid.

Each bill of lading is actually two documents, each containing the same information. Both copies must be signed by the shipper and then also by the receiver when the shipment is delivered. (In addition, the driver signs on the carrier's behalf.)

What is in a bill of lading? Typically, a bill of lading will include the names and addresses of the shipper (consignor) and the receiver (consignee), shipment date, quantity, exact weight, value, and freight classification.

The holder of the original bill of lading can endorse the receipt of the goods. Usually, the goods transporters (carriers or freight forwarders) would make such endorsements and return an original copy to the shipper.
