COMMON FINDINGS

What We Typically Find

Issues like these are what the audit is designed to surface.

1

Rates on the main lanes that sit below what the market supports

2

Deadhead that backhaul sourcing or a triangle route could reduce

3

Fuel spend higher than it needs to be because of stop selection and routing

4

Detention pay that is rarely collected despite frequent delays

5

No emergency reserve, so a single breakdown becomes a crisis

6

Personal and business expenses mixed together, which hides true profit

7

Heavy reliance on one or two brokers, which concentrates revenue risk

8

Detention, layover, TONU and extra-stop charges that were never billed
