Class & NMFC

Carry freight class and NMFC details into the BOL

Freight class and NMFC information associated with the shipment can flow into the BOL, helping reduce duplicate entry and inconsistencies.

Carrier BOL workflow

Carrier BOLs when supported

For carriers with supported BOL integrations, FreightCake can use the carrier-issued document. When a carrier BOL is not available, FreightCake can generate an in-house BOL from the shipment record.

Shipment record

Paperwork stays connected to the shipment

Keep the generated BOL tied to the FreightCake shipment so the document and shipment details stay together in one workflow.
