What is a pro number?

A pro number, short for "progressive number," is a unique tracking number assigned to a freight shipment by a freight carrier. It is used to track the progress of a shipment and is typically displayed on the bill of lading or shipping document. Pro numbers allow shippers and recipients to easily track the location and delivery status of their freight in real-time. Additionally, pro numbers are used by carriers to organize and manage their freight shipments efficiently.
