So you have heard different names for shipping documents: Bill of Lading, Material Handling form, Airbills, etc. These terms are used interchangeably but do have different meanings.
A Material Handling form is an authorization for the show contractor to perform the drayage service.
A Bill of Lading is a contract document between the shipper (you) and the transportation company.
The Airbill is for airfreight with specific instructions different from other carriers.
The team at Exhibit Edge is going to show you an excerpt from a show kit below (we have omitted the contractor’s name for confidentiality purposes).  The purpose is to give you an understanding about the importance of a carefully filled out material handling form.
