We Audit Each Mode by Its Own Rules

So no overcharge slips through

LTL, truckload, and international freight are each priced differently — classification and weight for LTL, mileage for truckload, and layered fees for international freight. One audit approach can’t catch errors across all three.

ICC audits each mode against its own pricing rules and your negotiated rates, catching the misclassifications, mileage miscalculations, and invalid charges that generic audits miss — then recovering what you’re owed.

  • Verify LTL freight classification, weight, and zip-code pairing.

  • Confirm truckload mileage calculations across carrier programs.

  • Validate accessorial fees and fuel surcharges on every mode.

  • Check that negotiated discounts are correctly applied.

  • Audit international air and ocean invoices for hidden charges.

Every Freight Mode Bills a Different Way

LTL, truckload, and international shipments each follow their own pricing logic — and their own failure points. A carrier’s mistake on one mode looks nothing like a mistake on another, so most of them go unnoticed.

LTL:
Hidden in Classification

LTL rates depend on freight class, weight, and zip-code pairing. A single misclassification or weight discrepancy quietly inflates the rate — and repeats on every matching shipment until someone catches it.

Truckload:
Hidden in the Miles

Truckload pricing is mileage-based, and carriers use different mileage guides. Incorrect distance calculations and stop-off charges lead to overcharges that are nearly impossible to spot without auditing against the right guide.

International:
Layered Risk

Air and ocean freight stack accessorials, currency, and documentation charges on top of base rates. Each added layer is another place for an invalid charge to hide inside an already complex invoice.

Common Questions About Freight Audits

What is an LTL audit?
A comprehensive LTL audit goes beyond invoice comparisons. It verifies freight classification, confirms shipment weight, validates origin and destination ZIP codes, and ensures accessorial fees are billed correctly against your contracted services.

What is a truckload audit?
A truckload audit verifies mileage calculations from origin to destination, including stop-offs. Because carriers use different mileage guides, ICC confirms accurate distances and flags any discrepancies that could lead to an overcharge.

How do I get started with a freight audit?
Just send us recent LTL, truckload, or international invoices and a signed agreement. We handle the rest — auditing your shipments and recovering your refunds. Getting started is quick and risk-free.

What does a freight audit cost?
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 save?
Clients typically save up to 30% on freight costs. One shipper recovered $475,000 in six months by correcting misclassifications and fuel surcharge errors alone.

What are LTL rates based on?
LTL rates are determined by commodity classification, actual shipment weight, and zip-code pairing, plus accessorial fees from each carrier’s service guide. Varying base rates and discounts make the lowest net rate hard to verify.

Do you audit international and multi-mode freight?
Yes. We audit domestic and international shipments across LTL, truckload, air, ocean, and 3PL, with strategic recommendations for long-term cost reduction on every lane.

What errors do LTL and truckload audits catch?
LTL audits catch classification errors, weight discrepancies, invalid accessorials, and misapplied discounts. Truckload audits catch mileage miscalculations and errors across carriers’ varying mileage programs.

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 to catch new discrepancies and keep savings flowing.
