Fleet Freight Billing Software That Charges the Right Price for Every Load

Fleet freight billing software works out what to charge for each load and turns it into an invoice. It uses your rate card for that client and lane, adds the distance, weight or waiting time, and bills it correctly every time. No more under-charging, forgotten extras or arguments over the price. With AIQ Connect it runs on your own server, under your own brand, with no fee per vehicle.

01
📋

Rate Cards by Client and Lane

Every client has their own prices, and every route can cost a different amount. AIQ Connect stores a rate card for each client and each lane, so the right price is picked automatically when a load is booked. Nobody has to remember what you agreed with a customer six months ago.

  • A separate rate card for every client
  • Different prices per lane or route
  • The right rate picked automatically

Charge by Distance, Weight or Trip

Freight is not priced one way. Some loads are charged per kilometre, some by weight or pallet, and some at a flat rate for the trip. AIQ Connect handles all of these, and it takes the real distance straight from GPS, so the number on the invoice matches the journey the vehicle actually drove.

  • Per-kilometre, per-tonne, per-pallet or flat rate
  • Real distance taken from live GPS data
  • Mixed pricing rules across the same fleet

Detention and Extra Charges

The extras are where money quietly leaks away. If a driver waits three hours to load, makes an extra drop, or handles a return, that should be on the bill. AIQ Connect logs waiting time and extra stops from real trip data and adds them as line items, so you get paid for work you actually did.

  • Detention and waiting time billed automatically
  • Multi-drop, return and handling charges added
  • Extras backed by real trip and GPS records

Instant Invoices and Payment Tracking

When a load is delivered, the invoice is ready. AIQ Connect builds it from the trip, sends it to the client, and tracks whether it has been paid. You can see what is outstanding, what is overdue and who to chase, so cash comes in faster and less of it slips through the net.

  • Invoice built the moment a load is delivered
  • Outstanding and overdue payments tracked
  • All billing data on your own server

Every Charge Traced to a Real Trip

The invoice builds itself from the load. Line haul comes from the rate card and the real distance driven, the weight surcharge from the load sheet, and detention from the actual waiting time on site. Every line points back to a trip record, so nothing is guessed and nothing is missed.

  • Line haul priced from the client rate card
  • Distance and waiting time from GPS records
  • Every line traced back to the trip

Billing events, extras applied and overdue payments

Nothing Billable Slips Through

Every billing event lands in one feed. A load is delivered and invoiced, a detention charge is applied, a payment falls overdue, or a new lane needs a price agreed. Your office sees exactly what is billable and what is unpaid, so you stop discovering lost charges weeks later when it is too late to claim them.

  • Invoice, extras and payment events in one feed
  • Overdue payments flagged for chasing
  • Missing rates caught before billing

Billing reports by client, lane and margin

See Which Lanes Actually Make Money

Fleet freight billing software turns every load into a report you can act on. See what you billed, what is still unpaid, and the margin on each client and lane once running costs are counted. A lane that looks busy can quietly lose money, and this is how you find it before another year of it goes by.

  • Billed, unpaid and overdue totals
  • Margin per client and per lane
  • Spot loss-making lanes and fix the rate
Honest Comparison

Self-Hosted AIQ Connect vs Manual Freight Invoicing

Most operators bill freight from paper dockets and a spreadsheet, or rent a cloud tool that charges per vehicle. Here is how both compare to fleet freight billing software on your own server.

FAQs

Fleet Freight Billing Software, Common Questions

What is fleet freight billing software?
Fleet freight billing software works out what to charge for each load and turns it into an invoice. It uses your rate card for that client and lane, adds the distance, weight or waiting time, and bills it correctly every time. With AIQ Connect it runs on your own server under your own brand, with no per-vehicle fees.
How do rate cards work?
A rate card is the price list you agreed with a client. AIQ Connect stores one for each client, and you can set different prices for different lanes or routes. When a load is booked, the right rate is picked automatically, so nobody has to remember an agreement from months ago or dig out an old email to check a price.
Can it charge by weight and distance?
Yes. You can bill per kilometre, per tonne, per pallet, or at a flat rate for the trip, and mix these rules across different clients. The distance comes from live GPS, so it reflects the journey the vehicle really drove rather than an estimate from a map, which stops arguments about the figure on the invoice.
What are detention and accessorial charges?
These are the extras beyond the basic haul, like waiting a long time to load or unload, an extra drop, or handling a return. They are easy to forget and are where a lot of money quietly leaks away. AIQ Connect logs waiting time and extra stops from real trip data and adds them to the invoice as separate lines.
What if a client disputes an invoice?
Every line on the invoice points back to a trip record, so you can show the route driven, the exact distance, the time on site and the delivery proof. Instead of a long argument, you send the evidence. That usually settles it quickly and protects charges that might otherwise be written off to keep the peace.
Can I put my own brand on the invoices?
Yes. AIQ Connect is white-label and self-hosted, so invoices and client portals carry your logo, your colors and your domain. Every rate card, invoice and payment record stays on your own server, not a shared cloud. You can also give clients their own branded login to view loads and bills, with no per-vehicle fees.
