What goes on a trip sheet

A trip sheet is the driver's record of one trip. The office uses it to check costs, settle the driver's cash and see what the trip earned.

  1. Trip sheet number and date, the vehicle number and the driver.
  2. Route: where the truck loaded and where it delivered.
  3. Odometer at start and at end. The difference is the distance, and it gives you mileage (km per litre).
  4. Load: goods, party and the LR or invoice number.
  5. Cash given to the driver (advance) before the trip.
  6. Every expense: date, type and amount, for diesel, toll, food, loading and the rest.
  7. Balance: advance minus expenses. If positive, the driver returns cash. If negative, the office pays the driver.
  8. Signatures of the driver and of the office person who checked it.

Questions, answered.

What is a trip sheet?

A trip sheet is the record of one truck trip: vehicle, driver, route, odometer, load, the cash given to the driver and every expense on the road. The office uses it to check costs and settle the driver.

How is the driver's balance worked out?

Balance = advance given minus total expenses. If it is positive, the driver returns the cash. If it is negative, the office pays the driver the difference.

What is the difference between a trip sheet and an LR?

The LR (lorry receipt) is the receipt for the goods and travels with the truck. The trip sheet is an internal record of the trip's costs and cash.
