Speed matters for recovery. Government audit data on postpayment claims shows uncollected overcharges climbing sharply the longer detection takes — from under 10% uncollected when caught quickly to over 30% when identification is delayed by more than ~800 days. The "realized" figures above assume reasonably prompt review.
These figures are directional planning estimates, not a quote or a guarantee. They're built from publicly available freight-auditing research — including an industry analyst market guide, trade-publication data, vendor case studies, and a U.S. government audit of postpayment transportation claims — which report typical freight billing error and recovery rates by transport mode. Your actual results depend on your carrier mix, contract complexity, invoice volume, and how audits are run. Treat this as a starting point for the conversation, not a number to plan a budget around.
