Process Overview: Whenever a shipment leaves one of our facilities, we make two copies of the bill of lading (BOL). One copy is for the carrier and one copy is kept for our records. Each week, these BOL’s are then internally scanned and/or sent to Dex Dox who indexes and scans them for us. The process below should be used when scanning and/or sending the BOL’s to Dex Dox.
