Invoicing for your trucking business

Think of each row as one charge on the load. When the linehaul was agreed as a flat amount, it goes in with 1 in Qty and the agreed figure in Rate; write the load number and the lanes in its description so the broker can match it to their paperwork. Detention fits a count of hours at your hourly detention rate, and a lumper fee you paid at the dock is a row of its own.

Before you put anything in the tax box, check your state's rules for freight and for reimbursed charges such as lumper fees.

Sample load, worked through: a Dallas-to-Memphis run carries a linehaul of 1 × $1,350.00 = $1,350.00, two hours of detention at $50.00 add 2 × $50.00 = $100.00, and the lumper fee is 1 × $120.00 = $120.00. Added together, $1,350.00 + $100.00 + $120.00 = $1,570.00, the figure the preview begins with.

Why Billed fits trucking billing

  • Log a broker's check the day it arrives: Billed's invoice software page says "When a client pays by check or cash, record it as an offline payment so all your income is in one place."
  • Hold on to lumper and scale tickets: Billed's expenses page says "Attach the receipt when you record the expense, and it stays with that entry in your Billed account instead of in a drawer or an inbox."
  • Find unpaid loads fast. According to Billed's invoice software page, "Invoice reports show which invoices are paid, partially paid or past due, and you can see who owes you money and send them a payment reminder."

How the trucking invoice generator works

Three steps from blank page to a polished invoice your clients can pay with confidence.

  1. 1

    Enter the load

    One row for the linehaul with the load number and lanes, then rows for detention hours and any lumper fee.

  2. 2

    Decide on the tax box

    Your state's rules decide this; with no rate entered, the total equals the subtotal.

  3. 3

    Go on to Billed

    A press on Open full generator loads Billed's generator in its own tab, and this page's rows aren't included.

Trucking invoicing: common questions

Grow your trucking business with Billed

Create invoices, track payments and keep your clients' details in one place with Billed.

Quick answer:A trucking invoice in the generator starts with the linehaul for the load as one row naming the load number, then detention as hours times a detention rate and any lumper fee on separate rows; tax waits on your state's rules, and the last button, Open full generator, points to Billed without carrying the rows.

At a glance

When this isn't for you

If your loads are paid through a factoring company or a broker's own portal that builds the invoice for you, follow that process instead of this preview.
