We audit carrier invoices before you pay them.
About 1 in 8 carrier invoices has a billing error (Cass, 2024). We compare each invoice against its rate confirmation and flag the difference before the money leaves.

01
Where the money leaks
Eight ways carrier invoices quietly diverge from what was agreed. We check every one, on every load.
Rate mismatch
- Linehaul that doesn’t match the con
- Fuel off the wrong schedule, or billed twice
Charged without backing
- Detention with no agreed terms or in/out times
- Lumper fees with no receipt
- TONU on a load that ran
- Reweigh fees with no inspection certificate
Nobody re-checks
- The same load billed twice, weeks apart
- Line items that don’t add up to the total
Detention is the single most disputed accessorial in the industry.

Why nobody catches it
It isn’t carelessness. It’s structure.
Carrier’s billing system
Automatic
generates every charge, instantly
Your AP process
about 10 min
per load, by hand, three documents in three places
At 300 loads a month that’s a full-time job. A 12-person brokerage doesn’t have that person.
That asymmetry is the whole story.
03
What an audit actually involves
-
Day 0
Documents land.
Rate cons and carrier invoices for your last month of loads, however you have them: TMS export, email forward, a folder of scans. Twenty loads is fine too if a full month is awkward to pull. Messy is fine. Messy is normal.
-
Day 1–3
Extraction and the line check.
Every invoice gets paired to its rate con by load. Every line item (linehaul, fuel, each accessorial) gets pulled out of the documents, whatever format they arrived in. Each charge is then checked against what the con actually says: rates against rates, surcharges against schedules, accessorials against terms. Anything that doesn’t match gets written up with the exact difference.
-
Day 5
Your report.
One page. Every flagged charge, its dollar amount, and the document reference that proves it, so your team can verify each finding against the originals in minutes, not hours.
No software. No logins. No IT project. Email in, report back.

-
The finding, in one line
What’s wrong, on which load, for how much.
-
The proof
Every finding references the exact documents, so disputes start from evidence, not opinion.
-
The number that matters
What was flagged across the batch. This is the number the audit exists to produce.
Hand it to your AP person. Every line is checkable against your own documents.

The numbers, honestly

What this looks like at your volume
The benchmarks above are industry-wide. Here they are, applied to a brokerage your size.
$4,750 a month
about $57,000 a year
Cass method: 300 loads, 1 in 8 carrying an error, at $127 each
$11,050 a month on the Gartner method: 1.84% of $600,000 in monthly carrier spend
Benchmark arithmetic, not a promise. This is what published error rates imply at your volume, not a claim about your invoices, and flagged is not the same as recovered. The free audit replaces this estimate with your real number.

FAQ
What do you need from us?
Carrier invoices and rate confirmations for your last month of loads. Any format: PDFs, portal downloads, photos of paper. If you can email it, we can audit it. Twenty loads works too if a full month is awkward to pull.
How long does it take?
Your report lands within 5 business days of your documents arriving.
What does the audit cost?
Nothing. The audit is free, with no obligation after it. If it flags nothing, you’ve confirmed your billing is clean. That’s worth knowing too.
What if we’re on an unusual TMS, or none at all?
Doesn’t matter. We work from documents, not integrations. There is no setup, no login, no IT involvement on your side.
Is our data safe?
NDA on request. Say the word. Your documents are used for the audit and nothing else, and we delete everything 30 days after you have your report.
What happens after the audit?
That’s up to you. Some brokerages take the report and handle disputes themselves. If you want it running continuously, we’ll talk about what that looks like. No pitch inside the audit.
