Is a Bill of Lading required for a TDR?

A Bill of Lading is not required for a TDR (Temporary Driver’s Registration) because the TDR is primarily a document related to the authorization of operating a vehicle temporarily rather than the shipping or transport of goods. A Bill of Lading serves as a legal document between the shipper and carrier, detailing the type, quantity, and destination of goods being transported. Since a TDR does not entail the shipping of goods but rather the registration for vehicle operation, it does not necessitate a Bill of Lading.

This understanding clarifies the role and function of each document within their specific contexts, where only transportation of goods would require a Bill of Lading, which is not the case with a TDR.
