A damaged load you never claimed is a loss you didn't have to take.
A pallet arrives crushed or short. Filing the claim means chasing photos, signatures and paperwork, so the small ones quietly don't get filed.

Sound familiar?
- The delivery receipt was signed clean at the dock, and now the carrier denies the claim.
- One damaged load turns into weeks of emails about missing photos, notes and signatures.
- Reweigh, reclass and accessorial charges show up on LTL invoices, and AP pays them close to as billed.
- Nobody is sure which claims were actually filed and which were only "noticed".
- Your 3PL or broker was supposed to file. You're not sure they did.
What it costs
at least nine months*
after delivery to file an interstate claim in writing
Every damage or shortage you don't claim is product you paid for twice. Every accessorial you don't question is margin that leaves with the invoice. And the clock is real: for interstate motor freight, federal law requires carriers to give you at least nine months after delivery to file a claim in writing,* and many shippers find out too late that what they sent never counted as a claim.
What you do today
The team files the big claims and lets the rest go, because gathering the BOL, delivery receipt, photos and invoice for each one takes too long. Some companies hire a freight claims specialist to work a spreadsheet. Others rely on a freight audit firm, which may catch rate errors but rarely chases damage claims.
What we do
We turn each damage event and questionable charge with your top carriers into a claim or dispute that's ready to file, with the BOL, delivery receipt, photos and invoice attached. Your team approves each one. Nothing expires in an inbox, and freight costs what your contract says.
