What is a delivery note?
A delivery note travels with the goods and is signed by the consignee on receipt. It records what was delivered, in what quantity and in what condition, and it is the basis for the invoice issued later. In hay and straw transport it matters even more, because pricing is normally settled on weighbridge weight: without tare, gross and net weights properly recorded, there is no clean way to settle the load.
What should an agricultural delivery note include?
A complete forage delivery note includes: document number and date; sender and consignee details (name, tax ID, address); places of loading and delivery; the carrier with tractor and trailer plates; the goods with their bale format (small bale, 80×90 bale, 12-bale pack, round bale) and number of packages; the weighbridge weights — tare, gross and net — and the signatures of sender, carrier and consignee. Observations are where reservations get noted: wet bales, damaged packages or weight discrepancies.
Delivery note, CMR and invoice: the differences
The delivery note documents a delivery and has no legally mandated format. The CMR consignment note is the contract of carriage for international road transport under the 1956 CMR Convention: it accompanies goods across borders (for example, forage from Lleida to Germany) and allocates liability between sender, carrier and consignee. The invoice is the tax document demanding payment; it is issued afterwards, usually against the signed delivery notes or CMRs of the period.
When is a CMR consignment note required?
Whenever goods are carried internationally by road and at least one of the two countries is party to the CMR Convention — in practice, any truck shipment within Europe. It is signed at origin by sender and carrier, travels with the truck, and the consignee signs for receipt on delivery. This generator produces a document with the structure and box numbering of the CMR model, useful as a draft or accompanying document; for the official numbered forms, contact your road transport association.
Frequently asked questions
Is an online-generated delivery note valid?
Yes. Delivery notes have no mandatory official format: any document identifying the parties, the goods and the delivery, duly signed, will do. What gives it weight is the consignee’s signature on receipt.
Does the generated CMR replace the official form?
Not quite. This generator reproduces the structure and boxes of the CMR model and works as an accompanying document or draft, but the official numbered carbon-copy sets are distributed by road transport associations. For regular international shipments, get the official sets or use an eCMR provider.
Do you store my data?
No. Everything runs in your browser: nothing you type is sent to our servers. If you tick "Remember my details", the sender, carrier and logo are kept only in your browser’s local storage.
Why does the note carry tare, gross and net weights?
Because hay and straw are almost always settled on net weighbridge weight. Recording the truck’s tare and the gross at weighing means the net is calculated and signed on the very document that travels with the load — which prevents disputes.
Looking for forage with the logistics solved?
We grow alfalfa, straw, tall fescue and oat hay in Lleida (Spain) and organise transport with these very documents — across Spain and throughout Europe.
