It is the fault from truck owner's part if he did not provided you the consignment note. as per rule 4A, a proviso is given.
[Provided further that in case the provider of taxable service is a goods transport agency, providing service 2 [to any person], in relation to transport of goods by road in a goods carriage, an invoice, a bill or, as the case may be, a challan shall include any document, by whatever name called, which shall contain the details of the consignment note number and date, gross weight of the consignment and also contain other information as required under this sub-rule.]
hence it is mandatory on his part. though, yes you are liable as you have paid the freight and you are registered as a private limited co.
