requests to info bumblebeedispatch.com again today is truckers tuesday we try to have videos pertaining to truckers uploaded on tuesdays at 7 pm now we're going to talk about what a bill of laden is so a bill of laden is a document stating what freight or cargo that has been hauled on the truck from one location to be next it is an important legal document that shows what goods a driver and carrier are responsible for also the quantity of the load ben hall where it came from and where it's going now it is very important because it is required for every load with the billa laden the driver and carrier can take legal possession of the goods that has been home so basically when the freight leaves the dock and it goes onto the truck or trailer the driver and motor carrier become legally responsible for those goods and the billet laden is the document making itself now we're going to briefly talk about some of the importance of having ability um the bill of latents play a vital role within the supply chain as a whole and in any given low movement they're used by freight shippers and receivers to track and manage inventory and or the raw materials they're also used by first responders in the event of a crash to access how to properly treat the scene especially in the case let's say present for example there's a hazmat load let's say the driver that was involved in the accident he was transporting hazmat and they may have to bring out a special hazmat team to clean up the spills um and that hazmat team needs to know what they're dealing with so that bill o'laden would let them know exactly what chemicals that carrier was transported so they will know how to properly address the situation they also include seal manifest to show a shipper and receiver that a load hasn't been tampered with while in transit it also includes directions for carrier and drivers to follow while hauling a load such as necessary temperature ranges if it's a refrigerated load another reason guys the bill of ladens are important is because this is your money this is how you get paid okay so a bill of lading is used as your pod uh which is a proof of delivery document as necessary paperwork for a carrier to invoice brokers or shippers and if you guys have a factory company this is important as well this is how you're going to invoice the factoring company for payment once your load has been delivered so once that driver has delivered and completed the load usually the driver is going to either take a picture of his bill of laden and send it to his dispatcher um or whoever is going to be handling getting paid um some drivers may send it directly to the factory company um and things of that nature some brokers use transflo so at the truck side they'll go use the translo and send all of their bills and everything over that way um usually once the load is delivered the receiver will also sign the bill of latent which will be the proof of delivery and you must have this bill of lading and submitted to get paid for your loan okay so not having this document will make it difficult to get paid and sometimes you may not even get paid at all so that bill of lading is just very important um because i've had a situation where a driver actually lost his billa laden and he did not get paid for that particular load that he hauled now there have been talks about the bill of lading going digital and there are benefits of going digital um for drivers it's less paperwork they have to keep up with so if everything is digital they don't have to worry about using the bill of laden not getting paid things of that nature it also helps make the process smoother and getting paid faster and it's also less back office personnel that is needed to sort and handle the paperwork so imagine you know having a trucking company of um let's say 30 tractors and you have all these different drivers when they get in um and they finish their week out they're handling the back office all of the paperwork so now you have more back office personnel they have to sort the paperwork but if everything is digital it just makes everything easier um you also have social distance at docs so the drivers now can have less interaction with the shippers and receivers if the bill of ladins are digital okay now over to the left guys you really can't see this very well i tried to do my best to get a picture of a bill of laden um but this is pretty much an example of what a billa laden looks like if you're already in the trucking industry you already know about this if you're new and looking at getting started in the trucking industry then this is an example um every bill of lading will look different so you know not all of the bill of ladies look like this but this kind of gives you something to see basically now guys before you leave do not forget to hit the subscribe button share the video on your facebook page follow us on facebook and instagram at
