I audit freight invoices and coordinate shipments for small and mid-size shippers, catching the charges that slip through before you pay them.
Most small shippers pay these without ever knowing it. A simple audit step before payment catches more than you'd expect.
The same shipment billed twice, sometimes under a new tracking number.
Liftgate, residential or detention fees added weeks after delivery.
Charges that don't match the rate you were quoted or agreed to.
Corrections nobody connects back to the original shipment.
Logistics support for businesses that don't have a full shipping department.
I review your carrier invoices before you pay them, checking every charge against your rates and shipment records.
I book pickups and deliveries and work with your carriers, so you can stay focused on running your business.
Getting started is simple, and the first review is free.
Email a few recent freight bills, along with your rate sheet if you have one.
Every line gets checked for duplicates, wrong rates and unauthorized fees.
You get a plain-English summary of what was wrong and what you're owed.
I spent 15 years on the shipping side of the business, as a shipping clerk at WestPoint Stevens and as a route analyst at Adidas. I built bills of lading for LTL and FTL freight, scheduled pickups and reviewed carrier invoices line by line.
I started Wakefield's Logistic Services to bring that same attention to small businesses. Big companies have whole departments watching their freight spend, and you deserve someone watching yours.
