In the world of freight transportation, service failures are bound to happen. It\u2019s impossible to account for every variable on a shipping run, and often, many are out of our control anyway. Yet, that doesn\u2019t mean we\u2019re completely powerless to prevent them.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Given access to service failure data from freight bill auditing<\/a>, shippers will quickly see that there are ways to both tamp down on the number of service failures they deal with annually and expedite the claims process post-service failure. It all comes down to understanding the data.<\/p>\n

Looking Shipping Failures in the Face<\/h2>\n

It\u2019s no secret that freight squeezes have created headaches for shippers over the past several years. From the pandemic\u2019s astronomical rates to the lingering shortage of available carriers, many companies have adapted their freight operations to carry the burden of these challenges.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, there\u2019s been another pervasive challenge: The rate of service failures has nearly tripled over the past two years. Late deliveries, damaged product, bill of lading discrepancies, classification errors, and more are all on the rise \u2014 and often, out of the hands of shippers. Although they might diligently file claims and account for these failures accordingly, shippers may not realize the extent of the cost that comes with service failures until they drill down into their audit data.<\/p>\n

Getting to the Root of Failures, to Avoid Them<\/h2>\n

Freight bill audit data seems like an unlikely place to investigate service failures; however, it provides insightful context for how to mitigate the rate at which failures occur. Moreover, it empowers shippers to recoup as much of the cost as possible in the event of a failure.<\/p>\n

Some of the costs to consider when juxtaposing freight bill audit data against the rising prevalence of service failure rates include:<\/p>\n
