QR Code Bill of Lading: One Scan Confirms the Real Pickup
Paper BOLs are easy to fake or forward. A QR code on the bill of lading adds a GPS-locked scan that proves the right carrier picked up the right load, at the right place and time.
A QR code bill of lading is a standard BOL with a TrackBOL QR code attached. When the driver scans at pickup, the GPS location and timestamp lock to that specific document.
What problem does it solve?
Stops deceptive pickups
A phone call confirms intent, not reality. The scan confirms who physically showed up.
Catches double brokering
An unauthorized carrier’s pickup data won’t match what you agreed to.
No driver friction
No app to install, no training — just scan the code at the dock.

3. Scan
At the dock, the driver scans it. Location and time lock to the BOL.
TrackBOL confirms pickup and delivery events — it is not a live in-transit tracking system.
