Driver Settlement Report Layout Options

Before You Use This Article

The Driver Settlement Report can show driver pay in two layouts. Use the layout that makes it easiest for your team to review the loads, reimbursements, payment advances, deductions, and total payment amount before settlement.

Before you start: Applies to carrier, owner-operator, and trucking company accounts.

For step-by-step instructions to run the report, see Driver Settlement Report Overview.

Default Layout: Group by Pay Section

When Group By Load# is not selected, the report groups each driver's settlement into sections.

  • Load Pay: Shows load number, origin, destination, loaded miles, deadhead miles, and load pay.
  • Reimbursements and Accessorials: Shows positive driver charges and accessorials, including payment advance rows as reductions when they apply.
  • Deductions: Shows negative driver charges or deductions.
  • Summary: Totals load pay, reimbursements/accessorials, deductions, and the final payment amount.

This layout is helpful when accounting wants to review pay by category.

Grouped Layout: Group By Load#

When Group By Load# is selected before running the report, the report organizes settlement details by load number.

  • Each load shows its load pay and related settlement detail together.
  • Accessorials, reimbursements, payment advances, and deductions appear with the load they belong to.
  • The report shows a total for each load and a driver total after the included loads.

This layout is helpful when dispatchers or drivers review pay load by load.

Include Driver and Container Number

The Include Driver & Container# option appears when Group By Load# is selected. It adds driver and equipment/container detail to the grouped load view.

Use this option when a driver settlement needs to show lane, driver, equipment, or container details for each load.

Page Break After Each Driver

Use Page Break After Each Driver when you want each driver's settlement to start on a separate page. This is useful when printing, saving, or emailing individual driver settlement reports.

Which Layout Should I Use?

  • Use the default layout when you want a category-based settlement review.
  • Use Group By Load# when you want each load and its related pay items grouped together.
  • Use Include Driver & Container# when the settlement needs driver, lane, or container detail per load.
  • Use page breaks when individual driver pages need to be distributed separately.
