Create domestic freight labels fast, without a Bill of Lading
Yes, that’s right. You no longer need a Bill of Lading if you’re shipping domestic less-than-truckload (LTL) freight.* Instead, you can create a freight shipping label online, just like you would for a typical FedEx® package or envelope. (By the way, FedEx Freight is the first and only national LTL carrier to offer domestic shipping without a paper Bill of Lading.) Not only is it easier, it can help you reduce invoice errors and delivery issues that result from manual forms.
*Hazmat shipments and Shipper Load and Count customers still need a traditional Bill of Lading.

It’s simple. You can create a freight label online the same way you would for a package or envelope. And you don’t need a separate account to do it.
