Freight accessorial review

Charges earned outside the base freight rate.

Detention is the first focus, but the same audit discipline can surface other accessorial and payment discrepancies when the agreement and evidence support them.

01

Detention

Waiting beyond the agreed free time at pickup or delivery.

Typical evidence

Rate confirmation, documented arrival/departure times, required notice and payment status.

Why it gets missed

Times are not recorded, notices are missed, or the detention line is omitted from the final invoice.

02

Layover

A delay that holds the truck or driver beyond the scheduled service day or into an additional period.

Typical evidence

Rate confirmation, appointment records, dispatch history, broker approval and revised timing.

Why it gets missed

The operational delay is obvious, but written approval or the agreed charge is separated from billing.

03

Truck Ordered Not Used (TONU)

A truck is dispatched for a load that is cancelled or unavailable under terms that may permit a cancellation charge.

Typical evidence

Rate confirmation, dispatch evidence, cancellation message, arrival/tracking evidence where applicable.

Why it gets missed

Cancellation occurs quickly and the carrier moves on without documenting the charge.

04

Lumper reimbursement

Third-party loading or unloading fees that the agreement or broker communication says will be reimbursed.

Typical evidence

Receipt, load reference, rate confirmation or written approval, and final settlement.

Why it gets missed

The receipt is uploaded but not attached to the correct invoice or payment workflow.

05

Extra stops

Pickup or delivery stops added beyond the contracted route.

Typical evidence

Original rate confirmation, revised instructions, stop-specific PODs and agreed fee.

Why it gets missed

Operations handles the added stop but billing never receives the revised terms.

06

Driver assist

Loading, unloading or other driver work that may carry an agreed charge.

Typical evidence

Written instructions, rate confirmation, signed paperwork and approval.

Why it gets missed

The additional work is documented operationally but omitted from the invoice.

07

Redelivery or reconsignment

A changed destination, failed delivery or repeated delivery attempt that may create an additional charge.

Typical evidence

Written change instruction, route/delivery evidence, revised destination and agreed fee.

Why it gets missed

The load record changes, but the billing package does not capture the new charge.

08

Rate discrepancies

A difference between the documented agreed rate or accessorial and the amount shown on settlement.

Typical evidence

Original and revised rate confirmations, emails, invoice and settlement statement.

Why it gets missed

The base freight is paid and the short-paid accessorial is never reconciled.

One review standard

Terms first. Evidence second. Calculation third.

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.

Contractual basis

What did the rate confirmation, revised agreement or written approval actually permit?

Documented event

Do the times, receipts, route records and communications support what occurred?

Unpaid amount

Was the charge omitted, denied, short-paid or already included in the final settlement?

Start with a small test

Send 10 recent loads. We’ll do the digging.

We will review the available rate confirmations, PODs/BOLs and supporting records, then tell you which loads may contain supportable detention or accessorial charges.
