Build a plan

Priced from your own numbers.

No freight profile fits three fixed tiers. Set your volume and your lane count and the figure moves with them — every line of the arithmetic is shown, so the price is never a black box.

Single services

Or just buy the one thing you need.

No account, no commitment, no sales call. Most come back within two to five business days.

Single shipment audit

One shipment reviewed end to end — rate, mode, packaging, and whether it should have shipped that way at all.

$25
Order
Carrier invoice audit

One invoice checked line by line against your contracted rates. We find the accessorials you were not expecting.

$35
Order
Lane rate benchmark

What one lane should cost, benchmarked against current market rates across parcel, LTL, and truckload.

$45
Order
Dim-weight & packaging check

Whether your box sizes are costing you dimensional weight, and what to change to stop it.

$65
Order
Zone placement analysis

Where your orders actually ship to, what zones they cross from one origin, and what a second node would save.

$95
Order
3PL quote review

A quote you have been given, read properly — what is missing, what is padded, and what to push back on.

$145
Order
Accessorial contract review

Your full carrier agreement reviewed for surcharge exposure, minimums, and the clauses that quietly reprice.

Multi-site network study

Full footprint modelling across every site and channel, with an implementation roadmap.

Most consultancies won't take a $25 job. That's exactly why the small problems never get looked at.

A single mis-rated shipment isn't worth a $2,000 engagement — so it repeats a few hundred times before anyone notices. We priced the entry point where it actually gets used.

How it works

Same process either way.

01

Tell us what to look at

Pick a service or build a plan and send the relevant data — a tracking number, an invoice, a rate sheet, or an export of your shipment history.

02

We analyse it

We check it against current market rates, your own contracts, and how the shipment or lane should have been handled.

03

You get it in writing

A written finding: what it cost, what it should have cost, and the specific change that closes the gap.

04

Keep going, or don't

One-off services end there. On a monthly plan we keep watching your lanes and flag changes as they happen.

Presenter is AI-generated. The service description is accurate.

Read the transcript

Most operators think their freight costs too much. Usually the rate isn't the problem — where your inventory sits is. We review your shipment history, your carrier agreements, and your inventory placement, then tell you exactly what's costing you and what to change. Start with a single shipment audit for twenty-five dollars, or put us on monthly and we watch your lanes continuously. Either way, you get it in writing.

The rate is usually not the problem.

Operators call about freight rates because that's where the invoice is. It's almost never where the money went.

More often the cost is upstream: inventory in the wrong node, so a third of orders ship long-zone. A box an inch too tall, so every unit pays dimensional weight. A service level set once and never revisited.

  • Zone distribution against your real order book
  • Accessorial and surcharge exposure in existing agreements
  • Dimensional weight and packaging efficiency
  • Mode selection across parcel, LTL, and truckload
  • Inventory placement and reorder policy

Common questions

Answered plainly.

No. We are a consulting practice. We do not move freight, take possession of goods, or earn commission from any carrier or third-party logistics provider. That independence is the point — a broker recommending a carrier has an interest in the answer, and we do not.

Your monthly figure is built from three things: a $29 base, $6 per 500 shipments a month, and $4 per lane beyond the three included. Add-ons are priced individually and shown in the breakdown. Nothing is hidden — the arithmetic on screen is the arithmetic we bill.

Single services are charged once, at the flat price shown, when you order. Monthly plans are charged when you start and then on the same date each month until you cancel. Everything is processed by our payment provider — we never see or store full card numbers.

Yes. Volumes and lane counts move, and the plan should move with them. Adjust it whenever you like and the change applies from your next billing date — we do not backdate or charge a mid-cycle difference.

Email us and it stops. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the month you have already paid for, so you keep the service through that period. There is no cancellation fee and no notice period. We do not prorate a partial month.

It depends on the service. A shipment audit needs a tracking number and what you were charged. An invoice audit needs the invoice and your rate agreement. A zone analysis needs an export of your order history. For monthly plans we set up a recurring export once, at the start, and then it runs itself.

No, and be careful with anyone who does. We quantify what we find and estimate what each change is worth, but outcomes depend on carrier pricing, market capacity, and how you implement. We commit to the analysis, not to a number we do not control. Sometimes an audit finds nothing wrong, and we tell you that.

For single services, if the deliverable does not cover what the description said it would, tell us within fourteen days and we refund it in full. That covers scope, not disagreement with our conclusions — including the case where we look and find nothing to fix, which is a legitimate result.
