As you noted, you do have six months to have your bills audited and file an overcharge claim against the carrier for any refund. If so, what is good rate?

There are many post audit firms that will audit your paid bills for percentage contingency of 50. Are these rates good? We also use LTL on occasion to send our finished goods, but use LTL frequently to receive our raw materials fabrics, leather, frames, etc. A good resource for links to just about anything related to logistics is httpwww. cloexpress. comI hope have given you some food for thought but if can be of more detailed assistance dont hesitate to ask.
