Frequently asked questions

Find the answer to all of our most frequently asked questions.

What is Vector’s electronic Bill of Lading (eBOL) solution?

Vector’s eBOL digitizes the freight lifecycle—no more paper, printing, or manual errors. It captures signatures, documents handoffs, and provides real-time visibility and access. Workflows are automated, secure, and streamlined for all supply chain partners.

How is this different from emailing scanned BOLs?

Scans are static; eBOLs are interactive, traceable, and integrated into your workflow. You get live status, chain of custody, and legal validity—not just a digital copy. Every action is logged and auditable, unlike flat PDFs.

Do all carriers and consignees need to use Vector to participate in an eBOL?

No app or account is required. Drivers and receivers can engage via SMS or email. Everyone stays in the loop—even if they’re not a Vector customer. It’s built for universal accessibility.

What systems does Vector integrate with?

Vector connects with TMS, WMS, and ERP platforms for real-time data sync. Documents, signatures, and status updates flow directly into your existing tools. No duplicate entry. No delay.

Is this a legal and FMCSA-compliant alternative to paper BOLs?

Yes. eBOLs meet FMCSA requirements and E-SIGN laws for digital documentation. All transactions include time-stamped logs and secure digital signatures. It’s enforceable and audit-ready.
