What does Freight bill mean in logistics?

Short answer

The invoice a carrier raises on the party paying for transport, listing consignment notes, rates, surcharges and taxes for a period or for single trips.

For a GTA it must show the correct GST treatment (reverse charge or forward charge) and SAC. Most corporate shippers require PODs to be attached or linked before a bill is accepted. Ask our desk how this applies to your consignment.
