SPECIALIZING IN HEAVY EQUIPMENT TRANSPORT & MACHINERY SHIPPING

What is Freight Bill Auditing?

Generally, freight bill auditing is a business process aimed at examining, adjusting, and verifying invoices for accuracy. In recent past years, the cost of freight and other accessorial charges has become very unstable due to the fluctuating fuel prices, available carriers, weather, and road conditions.

It is, therefore, possible to receive an invoice whose paperwork does not align with the original quotation on the Bill of Lading. In such a case, proper freight bill auditing eliminates human error and discrepancies, saving you the extra cost.

Benefits of Freight Bill Auditing

According to research, approximately 30n percent of cargo transportation invoices are erratic. As such, many companies seek freight bill auditing services to track, correct, and verify their freight shipment fees.

Freight editing also guarantees that your company's goods are timely and efficiently shipped at affordable rates. It also ensures that the payments your organization makes are accurate, legitimate, and fair to all participants. At Heavy Equipment Transport, we work with an incredible team of audits which helps us maintain precision, efficiency, and affordability when serving our clients.
