The legal shipping document that travels with every outbound load — proves what's being shipped, who shipped it, who's carrying it, and where it's going.
## What is a BOL? A **Bill of Lading** is the contract between the shipper (the scrap yard) and the carrier (the trucker or rail line). Three roles: 1. **Receipt** of the goods. 2. **Contract of carriage** between shipper and carrier. 3. **Document of title** — whoever holds the original BOL can take delivery. ## Required fields - Shipper / consignee names and addresses. - Carrier name and SCAC code. - Material description (with NMFC item / class for LTL). - Gross / tare / net weight. - Number of pieces or units. - Pickup and delivery dates. - Driver and trailer ID. ## How WeighPay handles BOLs WeighPay generates a fully populated BOL the moment a load is ticketed — no double-entry.
