We Check Every Line of Every Freight Invoice So Overcharges Don’t Slip Through

Freight invoices are inherently complex. Duplicate payments, misclassified shipments, and misapplied fuel surcharges hide across LTL, truckload, and international modes — and carriers won’t flag them for you.

ICC checks every shipment against your negotiated rates and contract terms, catching the errors most teams never have time to find — and recovering the refunds you’re already owed.

  • Recover overcharges from duplicate payments across carriers and formats.

  • Catch misclassified shipments and incorrect DIM or class codes.

  • Verify fuel surcharges against current carrier tables.

  • Confirm every charge matches your negotiated contract rates.

  • Build predictable, fully documented freight costs.

Ensure You’re Not Overpaying

Use this checklist to identify hidden charges, detect billing errors, and manage your freight spend effectively.

Freight Invoices Are Built to Be Overpaid

A single freight invoice can span dozens of line items, accessorials, and surcharges across multiple modes. Carriers know most shippers don’t have the time or tools to check every one — so the errors add up.

Errors Hide

Duplicate payments, misclassifications, and surcharge mistakes are buried in complex, multi-mode invoices. Without a line-by-line freight audit, they blend in with legitimate charges and quietly inflate your transportation spend.

Overpayments Compound

Across LTL, truckload, and international shipments, small billing errors repeat on every invoice. Scaled across thousands of shipments a year, that quiet leakage turns into six figures you never meant to spend.

Bandwidth Runs Short

Auditing every shipment against your contract and carrier tables takes time most logistics teams don’t have. So invoices get approved as-is, and overcharges become a cost you never chose to accept.

Common Questions About Freight Invoice Audits

What is a freight audit?
A freight audit ensures your carriers’ invoices align with your pricing agreements, preventing overbilling and duplicate charges. Our auditors review every invoice so you only pay for what you agreed to.

What's included in a full freight audit?
A full freight audit includes invoice analysis, rate and contract compliance checks, fuel surcharge audits, classification reviews, and claim recovery. We review every shipment across LTL, truckload, ocean, and air.

How do I get started with a freight audit?
Just send us recent pre- or post-payment freight invoices and a signed agreement. We handle the rest — from auditing your invoices to recovering your refunds. Getting started is quick, easy, and risk-free.

What is the cost of freight audit services?
ICC offers 100% performance-based pricing. You only pay if we recover savings. No setup fees, no surprises — if we don’t find savings, you pay nothing.

How much can a freight audit typically save?
Clients typically save up to 30% on freight costs. Recent audits recovered $210,000 for a 3PL partner and $96,000 in duplicate billing for an industrial manufacturer in the first audit cycle.

What errors do freight audits typically catch?
Freight audits uncover duplicate payments, misclassified shipments, incorrect DIM or class codes, misapplied fuel surcharges, invalid accessorials, and rate discrepancies — errors that often go unnoticed without a line-by-line audit.

Do you handle international and multi-mode freight?
Yes. We audit domestic and international shipments across LTL, FTL, ocean, air, and parcel, and specialize in global and international freight audit services.

How long does a freight audit take?
Most clients receive their first savings report within 2–4 weeks of onboarding. After that, we provide ongoing monitoring and reporting to catch new discrepancies and keep savings flowing.

Can you integrate with our ERP or AP systems?
Absolutely. Our freight audit process supports EDI, API, and manual uploads for scalable, automated implementation — and our team manages all disputes and claims directly with carriers.
