Once the Carrier has delivered to the Receiver (Consignee), the B.O.L. (Bill of Lading) is completed with a final signature from the Receiver as proof of delivery.  The freight, commodity, or goods hauled on the trailer by the Carrier is checked for damages and everything is accounted for.  Everything is notated on the B.O.L., whether in good condition or damaged.

This B.O.L. is used by the Carrier as a P.O.D. (Proof of Delivery) or delivery receipt.  A copy of this B.O.L., along with the Carrier's invoice is what the Carrier uses to get paid, either by the Brokerage in which they ran the load for, the direct Customer or by the Carrier's factoring company.

Once the carrier is paid, either by the Shipper, Broker or Factoring company, you (the Dispatch company) invoice your carrier/owner operator for your percentage or flat rate that you booked the load for.
