Transport broker software: customer rate, supplier rate and margin on one booking

Hired trucks with their owner as supplier, the customer's rate and the owner's rate on the same LR, the owner's bill raised from it, the margin in the report. Built for brokers and commission agents who own few trucks and move many loads.

The owner's bill
