Which of the following is a type of Bill of Lading document?

The CLT program teaches that theBill of Lading (BOL)is the primary legal document between the shipper and the carrier that acknowledges receipt of cargo for transport. There are two principal types recognized in logistics operations:Straight Bill of Lading, which is non-negotiable and used when goods are consigned directly to a specific party, andOrder Bill of Lading, which is negotiable and allows transfer of ownership by endorsement. These forms establish shipment terms, ownership rights, and carrier responsibilities. Other options, such as “linear” or “extended,” are not legitimate BOL types in regulated transportation documentation. Understanding the distinction ensures proper tracking, transfer of title, and compliance with transportation law and MSSC-defined documentation accuracy standards.
