Which document is issued by the dispatcher after the carrier has completed delivery and is empty?

• A. P.O.D. (Proof of Delivery)
• B. Carrier Invoice
• C. Dispatcher Invoice
• D. Bill of Lading (B.O.L.)

Answer: (C)

Billing after a dispatch centers on who charges for the brokered service. Once the carrier has completed delivery and is back empty, the dispatcher typically issues a dispatcher invoice to the shipper for the brokered service, including the agreed rate and any accessorials. This is the formal request for payment to cover the dispatcher’s coordination and arrangements. The Proof of Delivery is a record of successful delivery signed at the time of delivery and is usually provided by the carrier or driver. The carrier invoice is the carrier’s bill for the transportation itself, issued by the carrier. The Bill of Lading is the contract of carriage created at pickup and used throughout the trip. So, the document issued by the dispatcher after delivery is the dispatcher invoice.
