Amazon Freight provides convenient and fast cargo tracking and electronic bill of lading services, allowing shippers to keep track of the transportation status of goods at any time and ensure the accuracy and traceability of delivery. This article will detail how to track the status of goods and use electronic bills of lading through Amazon Freight, as well as the key steps and precautions in the whole process.
1. Cargo status tracking
Through Amazon Freight scheduled shipments, shippers can track the status of shipments at any time through the website. Throughout the transportation process, from booking to pickup to delivery, the routing information of each node will be visible in detail. If you have any questions or need help, shippers can contact Amazon Freight’s dedicated Shipper Support support team, who will be happy to provide you with help and support.
In addition, Amazon Freight’s ROC (Relay Operations Center) is an operations center responsible for monitoring and resolving problems that arise during transportation. With ROC, you can promptly handle events such as supply changes, demand changes, or execution delays to ensure smooth transportation of goods.
2. Electronic Bill of Lading (ePOD)
Amazon Freight’s electronic bill of lading (ePOD) is a photo of the paper bill of lading (BOL) taken by the driver with a smartphone, and the signatures and confirmations of the relevant parties (shipper, driver and consignee) are collected digitally. This digital version is used to confirm the handover and delivery of the goods throughout the transportation process.
The specific process is as follows:
The shipper orders the shipment and prepares the printed BOL with all the necessary information.
The driver takes a photo of the BOL with a smartphone when picking up the goods and captures his and the shipper’s electronic signatures through the Relay application.
When the driver delivers the goods, he collects a third electronic signature from the consignee as proof of delivery.
This process simplifies the process of cargo handover, ensures the accuracy and traceability of delivery, and reduces the use of paper documents.
With Amazon Freight, tracking and managing goods becomes simpler and more efficient. Shippers can keep track of the cargo transportation status at any time and ensure the accuracy of delivery through electronic bills of lading, making the entire cargo transportation process smoother and more controllable.
