GPS Bill of Lading: Lock the Pickup Location to Your Load
A GPS-locked QR code on the bill of lading proves the right carrier picked up the right load — the moment it scans at the dock. No carrier app required.
A GPS bill of lading is a standard BOL paired with a GPS-locked QR code. Instead of trusting a phone call or an emailed copy, you get verifiable proof of the physical pickup: the GPS coordinates and the exact time the load was collected.
Why brokers are adding GPS to the BOL
Stop deceptive pickups
Fraudsters rely on you never confirming who physically showed up. A GPS-locked scan removes that blind spot.
Catch double brokering
If a load was handed to an unauthorized carrier, the pickup location and identity won’t line up with what you agreed to.
Create a defensible record
A timestamped, location-locked BOL is far stronger evidence than an email thread for disputes or claims.
How it works
1. Generate
Create the GPS QR code for your load in TrackBOL.
2. Attach
Add the code to the bill of lading.
3. Scan at pickup
TrackBOL locks the GPS location and time to the BOL. You see it on your dashboard.
Note: TrackBOL verifies pickup and delivery events. It is not a continuous real-time truck tracking system.
