A Freight Invoice covers billed line items, a totals block, and payment terms that say what’s due and when.
Loads still need to move, but the buyer also needs to stay out of the middle. The Freight Invoice keeps the charges and the terms in one place, so questions about add-ons don’t turn into a back-and-forth after the fact. The page uses green-teal accents with Zilla Slab headings and Roboto body text, so the important numbers read like documentation, not marketing.
The invoice opens with Line items, which you replace with your own descriptions and prices because the five lines included are placeholders. Under the items, the totals roll up automatically, and the Payment is due on the date section answers the parts that usually trigger disputes: what the payment schedule is and what happens if the due date can’t be met. The closing note, Thanks, we’ll handle the booking and keep you informed, gives the buyer one last expectation to hold you to.
- Line items Swap in your actual charges and rates, since the template’s five line items are placeholders.
- Totals The totals block adds everything up so the amount due sits directly under the charges.
- Payment is due on the date Check the payment wording and deposit split, then adjust the due-date instructions to match how your freight brokerage handles exceptions.
- Thanks, we’ll handle the booking and keep you informed Edit the closing note so the buyer knows what updates they’ll get once the load is booked.
Once the numbers and terms are in place, you send the invoice and track it under invoices, payments and receipts. A connected payment method lets the client pay online if that’s how you want to collect.
We went from spending hours on every proposal to creating fully customized ones in under 5 minutes. That's not an exaggeration - we timed it.
