How Shipping and Logistics Companies Bill

Shipping invoices carry unique requirements: cargo descriptions, weight and volume metrics, accessorial charges, customs values, and carrier-specific surcharges. Our free shipping invoice templates are built to handle all of these cleanly in a format that works for both domestic and international freight.

Whether you're a small carrier invoicing a single shipment or a freight broker billing multiple clients, these templates give you a professional, auditable document that closes out the shipment cleanly.

FAQ

Are shipping invoice templates free?
Yes. All shipping invoice templates are completely free to download and use for commercial freight and logistics purposes.
How are freight charges calculated?
Freight charges are typically calculated by weight per hundredweight (CWT), dimensional weight, distance, and freight class. Additional accessorials like liftgate or residential delivery add flat fees on top.
What is a Bill of Lading number on a shipping invoice?
A Bill of Lading (BOL) number links the invoice to the physical shipment record. It confirms pickup, transport, and delivery terms and is essential for freight auditing and claims.
