Invoice freight, record fuel, toll and repair bills, chase unpaid trips and file GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B for one GSTIN on the Free Plan.

E-way bills are not in the Free Plan
E-way bill and e-invoice volume sit on paid plans. If you generate e-way bills often, see India pricing for the plan that includes them; your books and GST filing on Free are unaffected.
Transport services can be taxed under forward charge or reverse charge depending on the option you choose and who the recipient is. Confirm your position with your CA.
