Where AP leaks money

Carrier invoices do not always match the rate confirmation. Fuel surcharges, accessorials, and duplicate billings slip through when AP is processing high volume under deadline pressure. Without a line-by-line check against the rate con, you pay overages you never agreed to.

A few dollars of overbilling across thousands of loads quietly adds up to real margin lost. The only way to stop it is to verify every invoice before the payment goes out.

How we run invoice audit and AP

1

Discovery

We map your carrier invoice flow, payment terms, and where overbillings tend to slip through.

2

Onboarding

We connect to your existing TMS and accounting system. No migration, no new platform to learn.

3

Ongoing operations

Your dedicated team audits every invoice against the rate confirmation, flags discrepancies, and approves only what is correct before payment goes out.

4

You scale

Volume grows without adding headcount to your billing desk. The desk just keeps pace.

What a clean AP process does for your margin

Every overbilling you catch is margin you keep. Auditing invoices before payment stops duplicate charges, wrong accessorials, and rate mismatches from quietly eating your spread. It also keeps carrier relationships clean, because discrepancies get resolved before money moves, not after a payment has to be clawed back.

Once carrier invoices are verified and approved, those transactions hit your books. Add outsourced bookkeeping to keep AP records clean.

Works inside the systems you already run

We work inside the platforms you already run, with no migration and no new software to learn.

Frequently asked questions

What does a carrier invoice audit check for?

Every invoice is matched line by line against the rate confirmation. We check the linehaul rate, fuel, accessorials, and any added charges, then flag duplicates, rate mismatches, and charges that were never agreed to. Only what is correct gets approved for payment.

Individually they look small: a wrong fuel surcharge here, a duplicate accessorial there. Across thousands of loads a year, those few dollars compound into real margin. Because they hide inside high invoice volume, most go unnoticed without a systematic check against the rate con.

Yes. ClearLane audits and processes invoices inside the systems you already use, including McLeod, TMW, Aljex, and others. There is no migration and no new platform for your team to learn.

A clerk under deadline pressure approves invoices to keep carriers paid on time, and a line-by-line rate-con comparison is the first thing that gets skipped. A dedicated audit team checks every invoice the same way every time, so discrepancies get caught consistently rather than only when someone has a spare minute.

Yes. Bookkeeping is a standalone add-on delivered by a separate dedicated team inside QuickBooks, Xero, FreshBooks, or Sage. After AP is audited and approved, it keeps those transactions recorded and reconciled.
