A wrong number on a BOL just cost you $1,200.
Invoice disputes from BOL errors are the silent killer of trucking margins. A misread weight, a wrong commodity code, a smudged signature — any of these trigger a dispute that delays payment for weeks.
The real cost
Handwriting errors
Scribbled BOL numbers, illegible shipper notes, and smudged commodity codes create errors that ripple through the entire billing process.
Dispute resolution time
Each dispute takes 3-5 business days to resolve — if it’s straightforward. Complex disputes can drag on for months.
Strained relationships
Repeated disputes damage your relationships with brokers and shippers. Even if you’re right, the friction costs you future loads.

Frequently asked questions
How does digital prevent errors?
Errors happen when data is copied by hand — from paper to scanner to email to TMS. BOLinkz keeps the original digital file intact through the entire process.
Can I still dispute if there’s an issue?
Yes, and you’ll win more disputes. You have the original BOL, the signed POD with GPS/timestamp, and a complete audit trail.
What if the shipper made the error on the BOL?
The original PDF is preserved exactly as the shipper created it. If the error was theirs, the proof is in the document.
