Where is the bill of lading is normally found?

Answer 1

The bill of lading is typically found in the possession of the carrier or the consignee once the shipment has been completed. It is a legal document that serves as a receipt of goods, a contract of carriage, and a title document. The bill of lading contains essential information such as the details of the shipment, the parties involved, and the terms and conditions of the transportation agreement.

Answer 2

Depends what stage of delivery/forwarding the cargo/freight is at. If it's warehoused for shipment, the bill of lading will be held by staff at the facility who will give the bill of lading to the transporter once the commodities are loaded on their vehicle or vessel. While in transit, the transporter will hold the bill of a lading. In a truck, it's kept in the cab of the vehicle. On a ship, it might be kept in a safe on the bridge or in the captain's quarters.
