CLT Exam Dumps : Certified Logistics Technician (CLT) 4.0

According to the CLT documentation, theBill of Lading (BOL)performs three core functions: it is acontract of carriage, areceipt for goods, and adocument of title. It legally binds the carrier to deliver the goods under specified terms. However, apick ticketis an internal warehouse document that directs employees on what to pick from inventory—it does not serve any legal transportation purpose. Therefore, using a Bill of Lading as a pick ticket is incorrect. Recognizing document functions prevents confusion between internal warehouse paperwork and external transportation documentation responsibilities.

TheBill of Ladingserves as the central contract of carriage between shipper and carrier, as defined in the CLT “Dispatch and Tracking” module. It documents shipment details—such as shipper, consignee, commodity, weight, and handling instructions—and must be signed upon receipt. The consignee’s signature confirms acceptance, completing the shipment lifecycle. It simultaneously acts as areceipt for goods,evidence of a contract, and atitle document. The packing list itemizes contents; the purchase order initiates procurement; the carrier requisition is not an official transport form. Thus, the Bill of Lading uniquely meets all required delivery confirmation criteria.

TheDelivery Receiptis primarily used to acknowledge that the consignee has received the shipment in good condition, noting exceptions such as damage or shortage. Unlike manifests or packing lists, it does not normally include the specific weight of goods. CLT 4.0 notes that documents such as themanifest,bill of lading, orpacking listare used in load planning and verification, as they include cargo weights and cubic measurements necessary for balancing, equipment selection, and safety compliance. The delivery receipt focuses on the “proof of delivery” function within final-mile operations, forming part of the carrier’s record of completed service. Proper documentation flow between warehouse, carrier, and consignee ensures accountability and accuracy at every handoff point in the logistics chain.
