Freight Tracking Pro Labels
Typically, a Pro-Label pad will consist of a cover sheet with instructions for the driver, a backer sheet and usually 25 sheets of bar coded or non-barcoded labels in between. Each label on a sheet usually would have the same bar code number and they are used however the customer wants. In general, one sheet is used for each pickup that a driver has. One label would go on the shipper's bill of lading and one label would be left with the customer's bill of lading. Remaining labels could be used for the actual pieces or skids being picked up.
The formats shown on this site are only the most common layouts. We can provide Pro Labels in any format that is needed. if you have questions, or need more information, do not hesitate to email us at the contact information at the bottom of the screen.
