Freight invoice audit & recovery

The overcharges in your freight bills, found and recovered.

We reconcile your LTL carrier invoices against your contracted rates, surface what you were overbilled, and recover it. You pay nothing unless we do.

No cost, no commitment. We sign an NDA first if you prefer.

Tare — to subtract the weight of the container, leaving only true cargo. We subtract what the carrier shouldn't have charged, leaving what you actually owe.

The leak

Carriers overbill against the rates you negotiated. A busy AP desk can't catch it all.

Duplicate billings, rate errors, fuel miscalculations, and accessorial charges that don't apply slip through every month — and after 180 days, the recoverable ones are gone for good.

How it works

A disciplined teardown, one category of error at a time.

The same line-by-line reconciliation on every invoice — built so recovery doesn't depend on anyone's memory.

STEP 01

You send an invoice

One recent LTL carrier bill. Under NDA if you prefer. We'll tell you what we'd need to audit it fully.

STEP 02

We reconcile it

We compare it against your contracted rates and shipment records — checking duplicates, rate math, fuel, and accessorials.

STEP 03

You see the findings

A clear variance summary: what was overbilled, in exact dollars, separated into reliable and contested.

STEP 04

We recover it

We file the claim or short-pay as your authorized agent, track it to resolution, and bill only on what comes back.

What we find

The errors that are objective — and worth building a promise on.

  • Reliable

    Duplicate billing

    The same shipment billed twice — objectively verifiable against the PRO number.

  • Reliable

    Rate errors

    Charges that don't match your contract. Pure arithmetic against the agreement.

  • Reliable

    Fuel & discount miscalculations

    Surcharges and discounts applied against the wrong basis or index.

  • Case-by-case

    Accessorials that don't apply

    Liftgate, residential, or detention fees billed where the records don't support them.

  • Upside

    Reweighs & reclassifications

    Higher-dollar but contestable. We pursue them — but never build your promised return on them.

You don't pay unless we recover money.

We work strictly on contingency. There's no retainer, no audit fee, and no charge for the look. If we don't find recoverable money, you owe nothing.

When we do, we keep an agreed share of what we actually bring back to your bottom line — earned only on value realized.

About Tare

Built on process, not guesswork.

Tare Recovery audits freight invoices for mid-market manufacturers and distributors across the Dallas–Fort Worth metroplex. We focus on one thing and do it rigorously: finding the money carriers overbill against the rates you negotiated.

Our recovery process is documented end to end — a standard teardown run the same way on every invoice, and a per-carrier reference for filing and deadlines. Recovery doesn't depend on anyone's memory; it depends on the process.
