When quoting or booking freight, the big question is: Who pays, and how is it shown on the paperwork? Whether your shipment is Prepaid, Collect, or billed to a Third Party, we’ve got you covered. Below we’ll explain what each term means in Freightview, how it appears on your BOLs, and tips to keep payment terms aligned with your contracts.
Prepaid
If you have inbound or outbound contracted rates with a carrier, you’re working with location-specific pricing. Quotes return those rates and often include a carrier quote and/or PRO number. Depending on the carrier, the BOL may display either Prepaid or Collect because the pickup or delivery point is an account location.
For example: OP billing was picked up/rated from a company location, while IC billing was delivered to one of your contracted company locations.
Third Party
LTL and Parcel modes include this option on the quote screen.
Because these shipments are billed Third Party, they aren’t tied to your account tariffs. Freightview skips the rate-results screen and takes you straight to Book Shipment page, where you select the carrier, service, date, and provide the billing account number.
