Uncovering the Hidden Costs of Shipping: Why Freight Audits Matter
When it comes to logistics, many businesses focus on the big numbers: freight rates, carrier contracts, and transit times. But what often slips through the cracks are the hidden costs like overcharges, billing errors, and inefficiencies that quietly drain your bottom line.
At Lantrax Logistics, we know how important every dollar is when it comes to shipping. That’s why our Freight Audit Service is designed to help businesses uncover hidden costs and turn inefficiencies into savings.
Common Hidden Costs in Shipping
Even the most experienced shippers can run into overlooked expenses, including:
Billing Errors: Duplicate charges or incorrect accessorial fees.
Overcharges: Carriers applying higher rates than negotiated.
Inefficient Routing: Paying more for longer or less efficient routes.
Unused Services: Extra charges for services you don’t actually need.
These may seem minor at first glance, but when added up over weeks and months, they can significantly impact your shipping budget.
