Stops, freight items, cost breakdown, references, BOL, and documents
Scroll the shipment detail. The STOPS tab shows: PICKUP at 1234 S Central Ave, Los Angeles, CA 90001 (Date & Time 08:00-17:00, contact Troy Test, phone 12136982793) and DELIVERY at 456 North Rodeo Drive, Beverly Hills, CA, 90210 (contact Test Receiver, phone 13105551234). Below: Freight (1 Item) showing Cargo Van Shipment0, 1 pallet, 1 pcs, 800 lbs, 96x48x48. The right rail shows: SHIPMENT & EQUIPMENT (Shipment Type: Full Truckload, Equipment: N/A), REFERENCES (PO #, ASN #, BOL #: LPA733HV, Tracking #: S-115789-2615, Cost Center, Internal Ref), COST (Total Charged: $147.00), BOL (View BOL green link), DOCUMENTS (No documents uploaded), and ACTIVITY (No events recorded). Your avatar and team name appear at the bottom left.
References you enter at booking sync into the BOL header and invoice for downstream matching. The View BOL link opens the auto-generated Bill of Lading PDF. As the carrier event stream and Warp driver app detect events (scan-in, scan-out, POD upload, delivery confirmation), the Documents and Activity sections update automatically. The right rail is the single source of truth for every data point tied to the shipment.

BOLs are generated server-side from your booking data and stored in encrypted object storage. The QR code encodes the WARP ID for quick lookup at the dock. The Carmack Amendment liability clause (49 U.S.C. s.14706) is included automatically on every BOL. Driver signature at pickup is captured via the Warp driver app, and the signed version replaces the blank one in your Documents tab within minutes of pickup scan.
Auto-generated Bill of Lading with Carmack clauses
Warp generates the BOL PDF server-side from your booking data the moment you confirm a shipment.
Equipment, pickup and delivery addresses, shipper and receiver contacts, the freight items table (pallet count, weight, dimensions, handling requirements), and liability notices (Carmack Amendment, NMFC/FAK) are pre-filled.
Driver signature at pickup is captured via the Warp driver app and replaces the blank BOL with the signed version in Documents within minutes.
Proof of Delivery with photos and electronic signature
The Warp driver app captures Proof of Delivery at final delivery: consignee signature (or photo-only for drop-off), pallet-count verification, damage or shortage notations, and timestamped location metadata.
POD uploads to encrypted object storage and lands in the shipment detail page under Documents within minutes of delivery. For LTL shipments, carrier-captured POD integrates into the same Documents section through the event stream.
Falvey insurance certificate and commercial invoice
If you toggle Falvey cargo insurance during booking (up to $1M declared value), the certificate generates immediately after confirmation and downloads from Documents. The commercial invoice for every booked shipment is generated alongside the BOL.
Every shipment also includes $100K Carmack Amendment carrier liability at no extra cost — Falvey is optional additional coverage.
Nine-month retention matching the claim window
Documents retain for 9 months from delivery, matching the Carmack Amendment claim window.
File claims at wearewarp.com/tools/freight-claim-form with photo documentation, commercial invoice, and signed BOL — all accessible directly from the shipment detail page. The Claims Dashboard tracks status updates across filed claims.
For longer retention, export via BOL Vault or Freight API during the retention window.
Bulk export with BOL Vault and Freight API
BOL Vault bulk-exports Bill of Lading documents across your entire shipment history. Filter by date range, carrier, origin state, destination state, or reference number.
Export a ZIP archive of PDFs plus a CSV manifest — useful for audits, claim filings, or migration into your own system of record.
The Freight API has document-download endpoints for BOL, POD, and insurance certificate per shipment, with webhook notifications when documents become available.

For international freight (cross-border Canada and Mexico), Warp's enterprise path handles commercial invoice, packing list, certificate of origin, and NAFTA/USMCA paperwork coordination with your customs broker.
Can I pull documents through the Freight API?
Yes. The Freight API has document-download endpoints for BOL, POD, and insurance certificate per shipment. Generate an API key from the portal Settings page.
Webhooks on shipment milestones (HMAC-signed POST) notify your system when documents become available. Full reference at developer.wearewarp.com and OpenAPI spec at wearewarp.com/api/v1/openapi.json.
What references are captured on the BOL?
Every reference you enter at booking syncs into the BOL header for downstream invoice matching: PO (Purchase Order), ASN (Advance Shipping Notice), BOL (your internal BOL number if different from Warp's), Tracking, Cost Center, and Internal Reference.

About the Warp freight network
Warp is a technology-driven freight network that combines cargo van, box truck, LTL, and FTL capacity under one operating system. Shippers get instant rates, real-time tracking, and access to 50+ cross-dock facilities, 1,500+ active lanes, and 9,000+ cargo vans and box trucks nationwide.
The network is supported by 20,000+ vetted carrier partners.
Unlike traditional brokers, Warp uses AI to match the right vehicle to every load based on weight, dimensions, urgency, and cost targets. Cross-dock operations reduce transit time by eliminating unnecessary terminal transfers.
Pool distribution and zone-skipping programs help enterprise shippers lower per-unit delivery costs while maintaining tight appointment windows.
Self-serve shippers can quote, compare, and book freight online in under two minutes. Enterprise accounts get dedicated capacity planning, committed rate programs, and a named operations team. Every shipment includes scan-level visibility from pickup through final delivery.
Warp operates across the contiguous United States with regional density in the Southeast, Texas, Midwest, and Northeast corridors.
Cross-dock facilities in Atlanta, Chicago, Houston, New York, Savannah, Orlando, Charlotte, Indianapolis, Columbus, Denver, New Orleans, and Milwaukee support faster transfers and fewer touches on recurring lanes.
Freight modes and vehicle types
Cargo vans handle loads up to 3,500 pounds and 400 cubic feet, ideal for time-sensitive deliveries, last-mile retail replenishment, and lightweight palletized freight.
Box trucks carry up to 10,000 pounds and 1,500 cubic feet, fitting most regional distribution and store delivery needs without requiring a loading dock.
Dry vans and full truckloads move 42,000+ pounds for high-volume lanes and recurring programs. LTL shipments share trailer space on optimized routes through Warp cross-docks, reducing per-pallet cost by consolidating multiple shippers on the same vehicle.
Warp does not default every shipment to a 53-foot trailer. The AI engine evaluates load weight, cube, delivery window, and cost to recommend the right vehicle. Shippers see all available mode options with live pricing in one comparison screen before booking.
Cross-dock operations
Cross-docking at Warp facilities eliminates warehouse storage. Inbound freight is sorted and transferred directly to outbound vehicles, typically within hours.
This reduces dwell time, lowers damage risk, and compresses delivery windows. Warp cross-docks support pallet-in, pallet-out operations with scan-level tracking at every handoff point.
Facility locations are selected for corridor density: Atlanta handles Southeast retail flow, Chicago serves Midwest manufacturing and replenishment, Houston covers Texas industrial distribution, and New York supports dense Northeast delivery. Each facility operates on appointment-based scheduling to prevent congestion and maintain throughput consistency.
Enterprise freight programs
Enterprise shippers get committed rate programs, dedicated account management, and custom SLA design. Warp builds lane-by-lane rate structures that account for volume commitments, seasonal variation, and mode flexibility. Operations teams monitor shipment execution daily and intervene proactively when exceptions occur.
Self-serve freight quoting
The self-serve portal lets shippers enter origin and destination, load details, and delivery requirements to see live rates across all available modes. Quotes include estimated transit time, vehicle type, and total cost.
Booking takes one click. After booking, shippers track every shipment with real-time GPS location, milestone updates, and proof of delivery documentation.
Industries and use cases
Retail shippers use Warp for store replenishment programs that deliver to hundreds of locations per week on tight appointment windows. Apparel brands use zone skipping to bypass regional parcel sortation and reduce per-unit delivery cost.
Food and beverage companies rely on time-definite delivery for perishable goods. Manufacturing operations use Warp for inbound vendor consolidation, combining multiple supplier shipments into fewer, fuller loads through cross-dock facilities.
Distribution companies use pool distribution to serve multiple delivery points from a single origin, splitting full truckloads at cross-docks into smaller last-mile vehicles.
Urgent freight recovery covers emergency capacity needs when primary carriers fail or demand spikes unexpectedly. Middle-mile optimization reduces cost and transit time on the longest segment of multi-leg shipments.
