Comprehensive auditing is one way we help clients protect profit margins. And in 2023, we recovered a whopping $5.3 million in overcharges for our clients. How? By investigating both the accuracy and validity of every charge on every freight bill. Our full-service approach finds billing errors others miss. On top of that, we do the work of removing these overcharges, saving our clients not only a lot of money, but also a lot of time.

Great example today of the UTS difference. We got a client’s freight bill reduced by a whopping $8,469.15! A supplier routed 13 skids directly with a carrier instead of through UTS. The carrier billed our client nearly $17,000. Our client asked for help, so our audit specialist, invoicing specialist, and procurement manager all got involved. They invested hours of time to get the original charges reduced by nearly 50%. This client has been with UTS for 20 years. We're proving to them every day that we want them around for 20 more!
