Accepted Answer

For pallet (freight) shipments, the BOL must include: a description of the commodities, NMFC item numbers and classes, accurate shipment weights, a piece count and number of handling units, ultimate destination of the shipment, and any special handling requirements. It also must list who will pay shipping charges, marking “Bill Third Party” for Intrawest/Stratton. An accurate commodity description, NMFC item number, freight class, and weight are required to avoid billing issues. The BOL serves as a legal contract verifying the carrier has received the shipment and is obligated to deliver it in good condition. For carton (parcel) shipments, there is no specific detailed requirement for a BOL in the provided documents, but each box must have the Buyer's Vendor Order Number or PO number, be numbered, and the pack slip must be on box 1.
