Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The bill of lading is a legal document that serves as evidence of the contract between the shipper and the carrier for the transportation of goods. It also acts as a receipt and provides details such as the origin and destination of the shipment, the type of goods, and the agreed-upon terms and conditions of the transport. Most importantly, it provides protection to the carrier against false claims or accusations of loss, damage, or tampering with the goods while in transit.
