The Importance of Providing Proper Paperwork
Shipments without proper paperwork (BOL and Invoice) can be
delayed at gateways and/or sent to a sufferance warehouse until issue
is resolved; causing additional transit time delays and costly additions
to the invoice. To minimize delays, it is very important to place broker
information on the BOL or Invoice.
Canadian Service can be handled in a timely and efficient manner
by working with customers to ensure proper paperwork is provided
at time of pickup.

Canadian shipments are very important to R + L Carriers. At the time of pickup,
identify the Canadian shipment and ensure proper paperwork is received from the
shipper. Canadian shipments can easily be identified by viewing the consignee
address. Canada is divided into 10 provinces and 3 territories, similar to the U.S.
being divided into states, both using 2 alpha characters for state codes. Below is
a chart listing the provinces and territories and their corresponding abbreviations.
