The route that works
Freight dues are well documented, so a legal notice with the POD-wise statement works; damage deductions need to be contested in writing. Transport operators registered on Udyam can use MSME Samadhaan against large consignors; otherwise a summary suit on the bills.
How dues arise in logistics, transport and warehousing
Monthly freight bills against lorry receipts and PODs, 30 to 60 day terms that stretch to 120, deductions for damage and detention disputes.
Proof that wins
The claim is built from lorry receipts, signed PODs, trip sheets, rate contracts, monthly bills and the consignor’s acknowledgements. The buyer’s own replies (“will pay next week”) are admissions; part-payments and signed ledger confirmations restart the three-year limitation period.
Mistakes that weaken a claim
- Unsigned or missing PODs
- Rate changes not confirmed in writing
- Detention charges never invoiced
- Working through brokers with no direct contract
