A bill is a request for goods or services which were received. It contains a list of services or items and the due date. Issuing bills is a common practice in restaurants, credit card companies, utilities and other service providers. 

Bills and invoices are often used interchangeably and there is no difference in the results they produce. Invoices are commercial documents which contain more information (e.g. seller's and buyer's address, method of payment) than bills.

The use of these documents is determined by circumstances.

Freight Industry in the US needs Better Invoicing Standards

Invoicing is a process that takes some effort and standardization in order for companies to function effectively for the long term. It is good to stick with one standard in terms of what is expected on an invoice, the payment to be delivered by the due date, and for companies to be able to follow their invoices (knowing which were paid and when for instance) for the long term with their clients.
