What We Typically Find
Issues like these are what the audit is designed to surface.
Rates on the main lanes that sit below what the market supports
Deadhead that backhaul sourcing or a triangle route could reduce
Fuel spend higher than it needs to be because of stop selection and routing
Detention pay that is rarely collected despite frequent delays
No emergency reserve, so a single breakdown becomes a crisis
Personal and business expenses mixed together, which hides true profit
Heavy reliance on one or two brokers, which concentrates revenue risk
Detention, layover, TONU and extra-stop charges that were never billed
