What does Third-Party BOL refer to?

Explanation:
A Third-Party BOL is the automatically generated Bill of Lading for shipments that use a carrier outside your own fleet. The Bill of Lading is the essential document that accompanies freight, listing who is shipping, who is receiving, and the pickup and delivery details. When you arrange a load with a third‑party carrier (broker or 3PL), AscendTMS can create this BOL automatically so the external carrier has the correct paperwork and load specifics. This is distinct from BOLs created for moves with your own fleet, which aren’t third-party shipments. It’s also not a driver pay item or an invoice, but the shipment document tied to third-party transport.
