Billing documents paperwork

Document Type

Why is this required?

Proof of Delivery

required

ex: BOL or manifest signed by receiver

To bill your customer we'll need a copy of the signed proof of delivery to ensure payment.

Proof of agreed upon rate with shipper

required

ex 1: screenshot of email or text

ex 2: load tender created or signed by the shipper

This is to ensure we are lending out the correct amount of money. The rate confirmation must come from the shipper (customer), not from your own rate confirmation. Uploading only your rate confirmation/invoice will result in the job being rejected with a message stating the customer rate confirmation is missing.

Accessorial

sometimes required

ex: lumper receipt

If your customer requires any other documents, we'll need them for billing too.

Supporting documents paperwork

Document Type

Why is this required?

Contractor Invoice with Address

required

It is best practice to always get an invoice from a contractor before paying them. Denim also needs their invoice to ensure we are remitting payments to the correct company and address.

Proof of contractor prepayment
sometimes required

ex 1: screenshot of ACH to contractor

ex 2: bank statement showing cleared check

This is a due diligence measure to confirm that your contractor has been paid in cases when Denim is not making the payment.

Carrier rate confirmation

sometimes required

We'll need this in cases when you have contracted your own carrier side to complete a load.
