The freight invoice audit, explained.

Freight pricing is opaque by design. Carriers and brokers profit from the fact that most shippers cannot read their own invoices. FreightForensic treats your invoice as evidence — and finds what it contains.

Charge decomposition

Each charge is decomposed: base rate, tariff, discount %, fuel surcharge index, every accessorial.

4

Market benchmarking

We benchmark your lane rates against current DAT market data for your specific origin-destination pairs.

5

Overcharge flagging

We flag every overcharge, misclassification, and accessorial not disclosed in the original quote.

6

Report delivery

You receive a plain-English forensic audit report with disputable amounts and a draft dispute letter — within 24 hours.

What your report includes

Rate comparison

What you paid vs. current market rate for your specific lanes — compared against live benchmark data, not national averages.

Accessorial audit

Every accessorial charge decoded and flagged if disputable — liftgate, detention, residential delivery, redelivery, inside delivery.

Freight class analysis

Whether your shipments were charged the correct class — the most common overcharge vector for manufacturers and distributors.

Dispute letter

A ready-to-send dispute letter written with the specific regulatory basis (49 CFR, contract terms) that carriers respond to.

Sample findings
