Freight Billing Software That Charges the Right Price for Every Load

Freight billing software works out what to charge for each load and turns it into an invoice. It uses your price list for that client and route, adds the distance, weight, or waiting time, and bills it correctly every time. No more undercharging, forgotten extras, or arguments over the price. With AIQ Connect it runs on your own server, under your own name, with no extra fee for each vehicle.

01
📋

Price Lists by Client and Route

Every client has their own prices, and every route can cost a different amount. AIQ Connect stores a price list for each client and each route, 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 price list for every client
  • Different prices for different routes
  • The right price picked automatically

Charge by Distance, Weight, or Trip

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

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

Waiting Time and Extra Charges

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

  • Waiting time billed automatically
  • Extra stops, returns, 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 keeps track of whether it's been paid. You can see what's still owed, what's overdue, and who to check on, so money comes in faster and less of it slips through the cracks.

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

Every Charge Traced to a Real Trip

The invoice builds itself from the load. The main charge comes from the price list and the real distance driven, the weight charge comes from the load sheet, and waiting time comes from the actual time spent on site. Every line points back to a trip record, so nothing is guessed and nothing is missed.

  • Distance and waiting time from GPS records

Nothing Billable Gets Missed

Every billing event lands in one feed. A load is delivered and invoiced, a waiting-time charge is added, a payment falls overdue, or a new route needs a price agreed. Your office sees exactly what's billable and what's unpaid, so you stop discovering missed charges weeks later when it's too late to claim them.

  • Invoice, extras and payment events in one feed
  • Overdue payments flagged for follow-up
  • Missing prices caught before billing

See Which Routes Actually Make Money

Freight billing software turns every load into a report you can use. See what you billed, what's still unpaid, and the profit on each client and route once running costs are counted. A route that looks busy can quietly lose money, and this is how you find that out before another year goes by.

  • Billed, unpaid and overdue totals
  • Profit shown per client and per route
  • Spot money-losing routes and fix the price
Honest Comparison

Self-Hosted AIQ Connect vs Manual Freight Billing

Most operators bill freight from paper notes and a spreadsheet, or rent a cloud tool that charges extra for every vehicle. Here's how both compare to freight billing software on your own server.

FAQs

Freight Billing Software, Common Questions

What is freight billing software?
Freight billing software works out what to charge for each load and turns it into an invoice. It uses your price list for that client and route, 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 name, with no per-vehicle fees.
How do price lists work?
A price list is the set of prices you agreed with a client. AIQ Connect stores one for each client, and you can set different prices for different routes. When a load is booked, the right price 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 kilometer, per ton, 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 trip the vehicle really drove rather than a guess from a map, which stops arguments about the number on the invoice.
What are waiting time and extra charges?
These are the extras beyond the basic haul, like waiting a long time to load or unload, an extra stop, or handling a return. They're easy to forget, and they're where a lot of money quietly slips away. AIQ Connect records waiting time and extra stops from real trip data and adds them to the invoice as separate charges.
What if a client disagrees with 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 spent on site, and proof of delivery. Instead of a long back-and-forth, you send the proof. That usually settles things quickly and protects charges that might otherwise get written off just 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 website address. Every price list, 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.
