Understand the Bill of Lading (BOL)
The Bill of Lading is a legal contract, a pickup/delivery receipt, and a vehicle condition report. Treat it as your primary proof if anything goes wrong; review it carefully at pickup and again at delivery.
Top Bill of Lading Tips
- Conduct a full inspection with the driver
- Sign once you’ve confirmed the BOL is complete and correct
- Save copies and notify the carrier right away if you find damage
Red flags to avoid
Before you ship, watch for key red flags such as unrealistically low quotes, unclear licensing or insurance, and requests to sign blank paperwork or pay large upfront cash. These warning signs can indicate unreliable service and put your vehicle at risk.
Top red flags to avoid
- Price well below competitors with pressure to book immediately
- Absent DOT/MC identifiers or vague insurance details
- Carrier asks you to sign incomplete BOL
