How it works

The freight recovery audit, explained.

We treat every invoice as evidence and check it against what you actually agreed to pay. When a charge breaks your contract, we document it and help you get the money back.

1

Upload a sample

Send a sample of recent freight invoices plus the rate agreements, contracts, or tariffs that apply to them, using our recovery audit form. Carrier, broker, and 3PL invoices all work.

2

We find supported discrepancies

Every line is checked against what you agreed to pay: contract discounts, fuel surcharge tables and zones, freight class against density and NMFC, accessorials, duplicate PRO numbers, and invoice 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. Nothing goes to a carrier until you approve it.

4

You pay only on what comes back

When a carrier refunds or credits you, our fee is 20% to 30% of that amount. Nothing recovered, nothing owed. Disputed or denied charges never carry a fee.

What every audit checks

Contract discounts

Whether the discount in your rate agreement was actually applied to each shipment, at the right percentage.

Fuel surcharge

Whether the carrier used the correct fuel table, index week, and zone for the shipment date and lane.

Freight class

Whether the billed class is supported by the shipment's density and NMFC item, the most common overcharge for manufacturers and distributors.

Accessorials, duplicates, math

Liftgate, residential, inside delivery, and reweigh fees with no service performed; PRO numbers billed twice; line items that do not add up.

Money owed, not market opinions.

A rate that is high for today's market is a negotiation problem. A charge that breaks your contract is money owed. Recovery claims cover only the second, so every claim rests on 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.

The same PRO number was billed twice in 30 days, plus a class 85 charge on freight whose density supports class 65. $2,250 in supported discrepancies.
