EDI X12 Transaction Codes

EDI X12 211

What is EDI X12 211?

EDI X12 211 is an electronic version of a Motor Carrier Bill of Lading. It is sent from shipper / seller and works as a receipt for transport services provided by the motor carrier. Though a legally binding document to help a driver (and carrier) process and ship a load correctly, EDI 211 doesn’t replace a load tender (EDI 204), pickup manifest, or appointment scheduling.

Like its paper counterpart, an it contains:

  • Shipment ID number
  • Date and time (of pick-up / delivery)
  • Status report request (upon delivery)
  • Business instructions
  • Handling requirements
  • Bill of lading rates and charges
  • Lading quantity / weight / freight Class / value
  • Contact information
