How do I invoice a carrier for my dispatch fee?
Send the carrier a weekly statement: each load, the revenue on the agreed basis, your percentage, and the total. The carrier pays you. That keeps you out of the broker and factoring money.
List each load by date, broker, rate and the amount the fee is calculated on, as your agreement says. Show the percentage and the fee per load, then the week's total.
Match each line to the rate confirmation. If the fee basis is linehaul only, leave fuel surcharge and extras off the base.
Example. Load 1 linehaul $2,400, Load 2 $1,900. At 6% of linehaul: $144 plus $114, so the week's fee is $258.
General information, not legal advice. Rules change. Check the sources and talk to a transportation lawyer before you sign or start.
