Stop Overpaying
Your Freight Carriers
Carrier billing systems overcharge on 6–12% of invoices — fuel surcharges at the wrong rate, duplicate charges, unapplied contract discounts. FreightDetective audits every line item automatically and generates dispute letters that get money back. Our customers recover an average of $2,400 per month.

What Our Customers Say
Real results from real shippers across the country.
FreightDetective found $4,100 in incorrect fuel surcharges in the first 30 days alone. The dispute letter was generated automatically and FedEx credited our account within two weeks. I wish we had started using this three years ago.

FreightDetective ran a 3-year audit on our historical invoices and found over $18,000 in duplicate charges and billing errors we never knew existed. That money came back to us. The ROI on this software is not even a question.

Carriers love to add accessorial fees that were never in our contract. FreightDetective flags every one of those charges against our contract terms and generates a dispute letter on the spot. We've recovered an average of $2,200 a month since we signed up.

We ship about 80 loads a month — not a massive operation, but not small either. I assumed freight auditing was something only Fortune 500 companies did. FreightDetective ran our 3-year historical audit and found $14,200 in XPO billing errors we never disputed. That paid for two years of the subscription in the first month.

FreightDetective showed me the data — incorrect dimensional weight calculations on nearly 15% of our shipments. We submitted the disputes professionally through the platform, Old Dominion corrected the errors, and our relationship is still intact.

We use four different carriers and managing the billing across all of them was a nightmare. FreightDetective handles all of them in one dashboard. We've recovered over $31,000 in the past eight months.

Built by operators who run trucks — not consultants who studied freight
FreightDetective.ai was built by the owner of two active transportation and logistics companies in the Midwest — a dump truck operation and an auto manufacturing hauling and logistics business. After years of receiving carrier invoices and discovering systematic billing errors costing our own operations tens of thousands of dollars annually, we built the tool we wished existed.
We know how carriers bill because we have been on the receiving end of those invoices for years. Fuel surcharges applied at the wrong rate, duplicate charges, incorrect accessorial fees, and rate discrepancies are not accidents — they are built into carrier billing systems and go undetected because auditing them manually is too time-consuming for any operations team to do consistently.
FreightDetective was built to change that. We are based in the Midwest and work exclusively with manufacturers, distributors, and logistics companies across the region and beyond. Every audit starts with a free 3-year historical review. If we find nothing, you owe nothing.
