Upload Documents to an Appointment
Attach the bill of lading, packing list or purchase order to an appointment so the warehouse and the carrier both work from the same papers.
Every appointment on Yardor can carry its shipping documents: the bill of lading (BOL), the packing list, the purchase order, or another paper both sides need. Whoever uploads — the carrier, the driver on the visit link, or the warehouse — the other side sees the same files on the same appointment.
Upload from the carrier portal or the warehouse console#
- Open the appointment and find the “Documents” section.
- Pick the document type: bill of lading, packing list, purchase order, or other.
- Tap “Take a photo” to photograph the paper with your phone, or “Attach a file” to pick a PDF, photo, or Office document. Files can be up to 10 MB.
- The document appears in the list right away, and the other side can open it from the same appointment.
Before you confirm an upload, every photo you picked shows as a thumbnail — remove a wrong shot and it will not be uploaded. If your connection drops while an upload is being confirmed, refresh the document list once you are back online: if the document is already in the list, it went through — do not upload it again, or you will create a duplicate.
Drivers: upload from the visit link#
No account is needed. Open the visit link the warehouse or your dispatcher sent you, and use the “Documents” section on the check-in page: take a photo of the bill of lading right at the dock and it is on the appointment before you reach the gate.
How many, and who can delete#
- Up to 10 documents per appointment, each up to 10 MB: PDF, photos (JPG, PNG, WebP, GIF), and Office documents (Word, Excel).
- Both sides can view every document on the appointment. You can only delete documents uploaded by your own side — the other side’s papers stay put, so nobody can make the other side’s evidence disappear.
- An appointment only ever shows its own documents. Documents on another appointment — even with the same carrier or warehouse — are never visible.
Insurance certificates (COI)#
A carrier’s insurance certificate does not belong on a single appointment — it lives on the relationship with each warehouse. Carriers upload it under “My warehouses” with its expiry date; warehouses see the status (in date, expires soon, expired) under “My carriers”. Both sides get an email reminder 30 days before it expires.
