When to use and what to include
Record shipment and handoff details online, then generate a bill-of-lading PDF for pickup and delivery. For covered interstate household-goods moves, federal rules treat the bill of lading as the receipt and transportation contract; local and intrastate requirements vary, so verify the form required for the move.
What to include
- Origin and destination addresses, pickup date and time, requested delivery date or spread, and storage-in-transit details if the shipment will be held before final delivery.
- Complete inventory with item numbers, descriptions, condition at pickup (pre-existing damage noted with codes like SC=scratched, D=dented, T=torn), valuation election, and high-value article notices where applicable.
- Charges summary with the binding or non-binding estimate basis where applicable, stated charges, valuation selection, payment method, and amount due at delivery for a collect shipment.
- Shipper and carrier-driver signatures at pickup acknowledging the recorded inventory and condition, plus delivery signatures and any newly observed damage or exceptions.
