Contingency freight recovery audit

We find the money your carriers owe you. You pay only when it comes back.

Upload a sample of freight invoices and your rate agreements. We identify supported billing discrepancies and help prepare recovery claims. Our fee is 20% to 30% of money actually recovered, never of charges merely disputed.

No fee if nothing is recovered. No broker switch required. No software to install.

How the fee works

You keep most of every dollar that comes back.

Our fee applies only to refunds or credits your carriers actually issue. Charges we dispute but do not recover cost you nothing. The rate depends on volume and claim complexity.

Errors identified$4,120
Claims filed$4,120
Recovered (refund or credit)$3,600
Fee at 25% of recovered$900
You keep$2,700

Illustrative example. The fee applies only to the $3,600 actually recovered, not the $4,120 disputed.

Recoverable errors, not “you could get a better rate.”

A rate that is high for today's market is a negotiation problem. A charge that breaks your contract is money owed. FreightForensic focuses on the second: discrepancies we can support with your own agreements, the carrier's tariff, or the shipment documents.

We recover

  • Contract discounts not applied
  • Wrong fuel surcharge table or zone
  • Class billed above density or NMFC
  • Accessorials with no service performed
  • Duplicate PRO billing
  • Invoice math errors

Not billed as recovery

  • Rates above market benchmarks
  • Lanes worth renegotiating
  • Charges within your agreement

Market benchmarking stays available in ongoing monitoring plans.

How a recovery audit works

1

Upload a sample

Send a sample of recent freight invoices plus the rate agreements, contracts, or tariffs that apply to them.

2

We find supported discrepancies

Every line is checked against what you actually agreed to pay: discounts, fuel tables, class, accessorials, duplicates, and math.

3

We prepare the recovery claims

You get a documented claim package for each error: the contract term, the invoice line, and the dollar amount owed back.

4

You pay only on what comes back

When a carrier refunds or credits you, our fee is a share of that amount. Nothing recovered, nothing owed.
