EDI 211 x12 – Motor Carrier Bill of Lading
EDI 211 x12 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
