Detention
Waiting beyond the agreed free time at pickup or delivery.
Freight accessorial review
Detention is the first focus, but the same audit discipline can surface other accessorial and payment discrepancies when the agreement and evidence support them.
Waiting beyond the agreed free time at pickup or delivery.
A delay that holds the truck or driver beyond the scheduled service day or into an additional period.
A truck is dispatched for a load that is cancelled or unavailable under terms that may permit a cancellation charge.
Third-party loading or unloading fees that the agreement or broker communication says will be reimbursed.
Pickup or delivery stops added beyond the contracted route.
Loading, unloading or other driver work that may carry an agreed charge.
A changed destination, failed delivery or repeated delivery attempt that may create an additional charge.
A difference between the documented agreed rate or accessorial and the amount shown on settlement.
One review standard
A charge is not treated as recoverable merely because a driver experienced delay or extra work. We look for a documented commercial basis and a supportable claim file.
What did the rate confirmation, revised agreement or written approval actually permit?
Do the times, receipts, route records and communications support what occurred?
Was the charge omitted, denied, short-paid or already included in the final settlement?
Start with a small test
We will review the available rate confirmations, PODs/BOLs and supporting records, then tell you which loads may contain supportable detention or accessorial charges.
