As a CFO or finance leader managing high-volume shipping, keeping track of your bottom line has never been more important. With rising labor costs, volatile fuel prices, and economic pressures, even a small leak in your finances can significantly impact profitability. One of the most common yet overlooked areas where you can lose substantial money is through LTL billing disputes. Between 5% and 10% of your freight bills are likely inaccurate—and that can lead to tens or even hundreds of thousands of dollars in unnecessary costs. But how can you stay on top of these errors and reclaim the dollars you're losing?

Here’s what you need to know about these changes—including critical dates in the transition—and how GLI can help you adapt smoothly.
