BF / Dispatch
How a load
runs.
Five exits from quote to signed delivery — the same run whether the freight is a single pallet or a dedicated trailer.
EXITS 01–05
The freight
The freight
run.
Each exit produces a document — that's how freight stays managed, not just moved.
EXIT·1Quote
Quote & lane
Origin, destination, freight description and weight logged — a written quote with rate basis and transit window issued before wheels roll.
EXIT·2Manifest
Bill of lading
The load manifested — shipper, consignee, freight and terms on the bill of lading, filed with the dispatch record.
EXIT·3Dispatch
Dispatch & run
The load dispatched on schedule — status updates along the route so the shipper hears about the run before asking.
EXIT·4Delivery
Delivery & exceptions
Freight delivered on the transit window — any damaged, short or delayed freight documented with the receiver on the spot.
EXIT·5Close
POD & file
Proof of delivery signed and filed — the load's done when the paper says it arrived, and the record stays retrievable for the shipper.

DOC·01quote
Quote before wheels
No truck moves before the quote is signed — rate in writing is the cheapest insurance in freight.
DOC·02manifest
Manifest over memory
Freight that isn't on the manifest doesn't exist — every load documented on the bill of lading.
DOC·03transit
Windows held
Quoted transit is a commitment — exceptions flagged to the shipper as they develop, not after the fact.
DOC·04status
Status, unprompted
Dispatch updates along the route — the shipper hears about the run before asking.
DOC·05delivery
Signed, not assumed
Delivery closes on a signed POD — the load's done when the paper says it arrived.
DOC·06record
The file is retrievable
Quote, manifest, dispatch log and POD filed — the shipper's freight history is a call away.

dispatch.
Full trailer per shipment → truckload (TL), a dedicated trailer dispatched point-to-point. Partial freight → less-than-truckload (LTL), consolidated onto long-haul trailers at per-shipment pricing. Dispatch advises which lane fits the load.
Per load on a written quote — rate basis (per mile, per hundredweight or flat) stated with the transit window before the wheels roll. Contract rates available for recurring lanes such as bulk-mail runs.
Exceptions documented on the spot with the receiver — damage, shortage or delay noted on the delivery record at hand-off, not reconstructed after. Claims run on the documented record under the terms in the quote.
Yes — contract bulk-mail runs and standing lane agreements available for shippers with recurring freight. Pricing and dispatch cadence fixed in writing for the contract term.
