Your tarps protect the freight. Who protects the paperwork?
Flatbed drivers work in the elements. Rain, wind, and loading docks without roofs. Paper BOLs are the most vulnerable thing on your truck.
The real cost
Weather exposure
Open-deck loads mean open-air docks. Rain on your BOL makes it illegible. Wind blows it into the yard. Digital doesn’t care about weather.
Complex load descriptions
Flatbed loads often have detailed descriptions — steel dimensions, lumber counts, piece counts. Handwriting these invites errors.
Multiple pickup stops
Flatbed loads frequently involve multiple pickups. That’s multiple BOLs to manage, organize, and deliver to the right receiver.

“I was at a Pilot just outside Kansas City, dumping my trash bag, and my bills went right in with it. I showed up at the receiver empty-handed and embarrassed. That day I said never again. That's why BOLinkz exists.”

Frequently asked questions
Can I manage multiple BOLs for one trip?
Yes. Each pickup creates a separate load record. Search by PU number to find the right BOL for the right stop.
What about steel weight certificates?
Attach any PDF to a load — weight tickets, scale certificates, inspection reports. Everything lives together.
Does it work when I’m tarping in the rain?
Your phone is in your pocket. BOLinkz is in the cloud. Finish tarping, pull out your phone, and everything’s there.
Can I note freight condition?
Yes. Add notes to any load — pre-existing damage, special handling instructions, anything the receiver needs to know.
Flatbed tough. Digitally safe.
Flatbed drivers are keeping their docs dry and organized.
