Blind Carrier Confirmation is?

• A. A version of the carrier confirmation that hides certain info (e.g., customer identity) for blind shipments — commonly used by brokers
• B. A fully open carrier confirmation showing all details
• C. A confirmation that replaces all BOLs
• D. An invoice version only

Answer: (A)

Blind Carrier Confirmation hides certain information on the carrier confirmation, such as the customer’s identity, to keep shipments confidential. This is used for blind shipments, where the broker wants to coordinate the move without revealing who the shipper is. The confirmation provides the necessary shipment details (like pickup, delivery, and routing) while omitting identifying information. It isn’t an openly detailed document, it doesn’t replace Bills of Lading, and it isn’t simply an invoice version. This description matches the concept of a masked or blind confirmation used in brokered shipments.
