What Are Bill of Lading Forms?
Bill of lading forms are contracts between freight carriers and companies for delivering goods to customers (consignees). Carriers contract with companies to ship the goods to consignees (or another carrier) on schedule and in the condition that carriers received them. Bills of lading forms are legally binding documents that provide all the details necessary to ship goods correctly and officially.
