The problem
Your LTL Program is Costing More Than You Think
Most logistics managers we talk to already suspect something is off. Rates creep up every year, the freight bill never quite matches the quote, and accessorial charges show up that nobody remembers authorizing. Because LTL invoices are complicated and the team is busy, most of it just gets paid. That’s not a carrier problem. That’s a management problem.
LTL pricing is one of the most complex billing structures in transportation. Freight class gets misapplied. Negotiated discounts don’t always make it onto the invoice. Duplicate charges slip through. None of it gets caught unless someone is actively looking, and that’s exactly what we do.
Where It’s Costing More:
Rates that looked negotiated but are still closer to published tariffs than they should be
Freight class applied higher than your product warrants
Liftgate, Residential, and Detention charges showing up on invoices nobody reviewed
Billing errors that get paid every month because there is no audit process to catch them
One or two carriers on routing guide because nobody has had time to run a proper bid with data
Carriers with a history of damage and late deliveries still getting loads because there is no performance data

who we serve
TLI LTL Freight Management Services Works Best For
Most shippers who come to us aren’t looking to overhaul everything. They just want someone who actually knows LTL to get behind their program and make it perform. Here’s who we work best with:
01
You ship 20 or more LTL Shipments per month and want consistent, managed pricing across those lanes
02
You do not have full visibility on your costs, carrier performance, and other crucial Key Performance Indicators
03
You’re either paying a third party to audit your freight invoices or nobody is doing it at all.
04
You’re using multiple LTL carriers with no real data on any of them. No on-time numbers, no damage rates, no basis for who stays on the routing guide and who goes.
05
You know you should put your LTL lanes out for a competitive bid but your team doesn’t have the time or the process to run one.
