freight bill

Cargo transport document

A freight bill is a document from a carrier detailing shipping charges for transported goods—essentially an invoice for freight services.

It lists the shipment's origin, destination, weight, and cost.

Shippers use freight bills to verify charges and process payment: The freight bill showed an overcharge for the last shipment.
