How to use a US trucking invoice template

A trucking template should match the load packet: rate confirmation, BOL, proof of delivery, lane, miles, charges, accessorials and remit-to instructions.

Use the template as a master file for owner-operator or small-fleet billing, then duplicate it for each load.

Fields to keep in the template

  • Carrier or owner-operator details, MC/DOT reference where relevant and payment instructions.
  • Bill-to broker, shipper, carrier or third-party payer.
  • Load number, BOL number, rate confirmation, PRO, trailer, truck or dispatch reference.
  • Pickup and delivery locations, dates, lane, miles and rate basis.
  • Linehaul, fuel surcharge, detention, layover, lumper, tolls, scale tickets and re-delivery separately.
  • Factoring company or assignee remittance instructions when relevant.

Load packet and federal freight bill detail

49 CFR Part 373 requires motor-carrier expense bills to show key shipment and charge details. Keep BOL, rate confirmation and POD references visible so the payer can approve the invoice.

Detention and accessorials

Detention, layover, lumper fees, tolls and re-delivery should be separate lines with date, location and authorization notes.
