If you've used freight shipping before then you've probably heard the term BOL.  You're probably wondering, What does BOL stand for?  The BOL acronym is short for bill of lading,  and it's an official document used for virtually all freight shipments.

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.
