Bill of Lading Software

The inland bill of lading records key shipment and freight information for a domestic or inland movement. Shipping Documents Pro keeps those freight details with the rest of the shipment.

What it is for

Keep this document connected to the shipment.

A bill of lading commonly identifies the shipper, consignee and carrier and describes the freight being tendered. Carrier formats and contractual requirements vary, so the document should match the needs of the carrier handling the load.

Dynamic rows make it easier to accommodate a short shipment or a long freight list without printing over a fixed image with hard-coded row positions.

Information the document can include

Shipper and consignee names and addresses
Carrier information
BOL number and ship date
Purchase order or customer references
Freight descriptions and quantities
Weights and freight-class references
Freight terms
Special instructions and declared-value fields
Why use reusable software?

Reduce repeated typing between related documents.

The same shipper, consignee, products, quantities and references often appear in several places. Shipping Documents Pro keeps the shipment as the source and uses it to prepare multiple document layouts.

Save recurring parties and products
Duplicate a prior shipment as a starting point
Use dynamic rows instead of fixed form-image coordinates
Preview, print or save finished paperwork as PDF
