Hay hauling & delivery

Hay Hauling Invoice Template (Free)

Short answer

A hay hauling invoice separates the hay itself from the hauling and the stacking — bale count and type, delivery by zone or loaded mile, and stacking as its own line. Copy the template below, or use software with your zone prices saved so a delivery quote is a phone call, not a calculation.

What belongs on the invoice

  • Business name and contact info
  • Customer name and delivery address
  • Delivery date
  • Hay type, cutting, and bale count
  • Line items — hay, hauling/zone, stacking, fuel surcharge
  • Subtotal, tax if applicable, total due
  • Payment terms — due on delivery

Note the cutting

First cutting and third cutting are different products at different prices. Note which one you delivered — it’ll save you a headache when a customer reorders “the same as last time” back in February.

Skipping the copy-paste

With zone prices and bale rates saved, a delivery invoice is just two numbers and a tap — and a card taken right at the barn beats a check you’ll have to remember to chase down.

Frequently asked questions

Why separate hay from hauling?

Because customers compare hay prices constantly and can't compare a bundled total. Splitting them shows that the extra cost is a two-hour drive, not an inflated hay price.

Should stacking be extra?

Yes. Dropping bales in a yard and stacking them into a loft are different jobs by a wide margin, and the second one deserves its own price rather than a favor.

How should mileage be handled?

Zone pricing for regular areas and a per-loaded-mile rate beyond them. Zones are far faster to quote on the phone and easier for a repeat customer to plan around.
