Invoicing

I would think you would know the difference if you are a shipper. The bill of lading has all the pick up and delivery information, name of the carrier and a summary with description of the products being shipped. The bol may or may not have the shipping charges listed. Everyone had a different invoice. I include the pick up and delivery information and rate. I usually break down any additional charges, such as detention that is separate from the line haul rate. I also have a copy of the rate confirmation and that should match the invoice. Not all brokers take 30 days to pay. Some pay in 24-48 hours. Those who take 30 days may wait until the shipper pays them before paying the carrier.

 

Check just cut it and send it out after receiving POD.

 

Check or cash works very well. Some may use paypal, but there are additional fees attached. I think most prefer checks. Comcheck, TCheck, TCH/EFS are some of the common methods of payment.

 

The invoices I send out have my company name, address, e-mail address, fax and phone numbers as a letterhead. Also an invoice number, name and address of the company paying the freight charges, the load number, name and town of the shipper, name and town of the receiver and the amount due. And of course "Payment Due Upon Receipt".

 

I would prefer direct deposit myself. No check bouncing and don't need to figure out what to do with a pocket full of cash.

 

I send in a invoice like blessed man uses,along with
the signed bol,used as a pod.I also send in the rate
con with it.If there are lumpers,i send in that receipt
also along with it listed on invoice.
I like direct deposit or a check
I try to stay away from com checks or any other form of payment
