The BOL log and trip money
Haulage โ BOL log is the delivery sheet: date, BOL, truck and driver, consignee, destination, product, loaded, time out, offloading time, received and short. A shortage beyond your tolerance shows red. Owners and managers download it, and Haulage โ Reports (by truck, driver, product, consignee), as Excel.
Trip money, on the load (owner, manager or accountant):
- Give trip cash from an account. It is an advance in the driver's name; Give more trip cash tops it up.
- Record each trip cost as Paid by the office or From the driver's trip cash, with the receipt.
- Back home, Settle the trip money: the cash handed back, and what is short From the driver's pay or carried by the company.
A delivery loss charged to the driver comes off their pay the same way, a set amount per payslip. Once settled, the trip money cannot change.
