Freight charges are not just the result of simple multiplication, but a combination of various and complex factors, i.e. commodity, mode, weight, distance, origin, destination, tariff regulations, and contractual terms. The application of these factors is further complicated by the nature and specifics of the individual shipment and the route it takes. Highly experienced and skilled professionals are required to accurately and thoroughly audit transportation costs.
