Regardless of the kind of transportation, load documentation is an important consideration.
The documentation needed with a shipment varies, depending upon the type of transportation you are performing.
Proper load paperwork assists enforcement in verifying the load is being legally transported, and offers protection to the carrier when it comes to freight damage or loss claims. See 49 USC 14706 Liability of Carriers under Receipts and Bills of Lading.
