waybill
Carrier's cargo record
A waybill is a document that accompanies goods being shipped, listing details such as the contents, destination, route, and shipping charges.
It serves as a receipt and provides instructions for carriers handling the shipment.
Unlike a bill of lading, a waybill typically does not function as a document of title, meaning it cannot be used to transfer ownership of the goods.
The freight company issued a waybill for the pallet of machine parts.
