Free Freight Cost Analysis: What Are You Really Paying For?

Free Freight Cost Analysis

Shipping is expensive. Everyone in logistics knows that. But the real question is—are you paying more than you should?

At JEC Consulting Services, we help you answer that. With over 35 years in logistics, we’ve seen how transportation costs quietly eat into profits. Most companies focus on delivery times and vendor contracts but skip the deep cost breakdowns.

We offer something different. A free analysis for total Transportation Expense. It’s detailed. It’s expert-led. And it costs you nothing.

Let us show you what’s really behind those numbers.

 

Why Freight Spend Often Goes Unchecked

Most teams don’t question transportation bills unless something goes wrong. Freight gets paid. Orders move. No one pulls the numbers apart line by line. That’s a problem.

Carriers may add accessorial fees. Routes may be outdated. Volume breaks might not be applied. Mode choices may be off. These things add up, fast. You’re not wasting a few bucks—sometimes it’s thousands a month.

And without a freight cost breakdown, you won’t even know it’s happening.

 

The JEC Consulting Services Freight Analysis: What You Get

At JEC Consulting Services, we don’t give you canned reports or vague suggestions. We give you a clear, focused review based on your actual data.

Here’s what we cover:

Line-Item Review of Invoices

We pull freight bills apart line by line. We check for overcharges, repeated fees, and items that don’t match contracted terms. You see exactly where your spend is going.

Carrier Rate Benchmarks

We compare what you’re paying against what the market offers. You’ll know if you’re getting a good rate—or if better options exist.

 

Route and Mode Optimization

We examine how you ship. Are LTL loads moving as full truckloads? Are air shipments avoidable? We assess if there’s a better way.

 

Accessorial Fee Review

We flag repeated lift gate charges, inside delivery add-ons, and other sneaky costs. We help you cut these down.

 

Contract and Volume Utilization

You might be under-using your own negotiated terms. We check how well your volume commitments are serving you—and how to leverage them more.

 

No Guessing. Just Clear, Expert Insight

Our team has worked with manufacturers, e-commerce brands, 3PLs, and distributors. We’ve analyzed freight networks with dozens of lanes and hundreds of weekly shipments.

We know where hidden costs hide. We know what questions to ask. Most of all, we know how to turn raw freight data into savings.

 

Why You Shouldn’t Wait to Get Your Freight Reviewed

Prices fluctuate. Carriers update terms. Surcharges grow. The longer you go without a full freight review, the more cash leaks from your system.

And here’s the truth—you don’t have to fix it all yourself.

You send us data. We analyze it. Then we walk you through the findings. No pressure. No sales pitch. Just real advice you can use.

We’re proud to offer a zero cost no obligation transportation analysis to help businesses like yours stay ahead.

 

What Our Clients Usually Discover

Most companies who go through our freight analysis find at least three cost leaks. Some common ones we’ve seen:

Same-day shipping defaulted on orders that didn’t need it

Freight marked “guaranteed” with no SLA enforcement

Missed volume thresholds due to poor carrier balance

Rebill charges on residential addresses that weren’t flagged

Accessorial fees charged twice for the same delivery

 

And in nearly every case, clients walk away with a plan to fix it—fast.

 

The Long-Term Value of Cost Visibility

It’s not just about slashing costs once. When you get full visibility into your transportation expense, you gain control.

You can:

Renegotiate from a stronger position

Match carriers to lanes more effectively

Improve shipping SLAs without burning margin

Build internal accountability with real data

Present better forecasting to finance and leadership

Transportation becomes a strategic tool—not just a spend line.

 

Who Should Use This Service?

If any of these describe your business, we should talk:

You ship daily or weekly and spend more than \$10,000/month on freight

You rely on multiple carriers but haven’t audited rates in over a year

Your logistics costs have risen, but your shipping profile hasn’t changed

You run seasonal shipping but use the same rates year-round

You don’t have a clear report of fees by lane or carrier

 

Even if you already work with a freight broker or 3PL, a second look can reveal new insights.

 

What Happens After the Review?

Once we’ve delivered your custom freight analysis, it’s up to you. You can use the findings in-house. You can bring it to your current carrier. You can have us help you implement changes—or not.

There’s no commitment required. No strings. Just real value.

That’s how we work at JEC Consulting Services. We believe in earning your trust with real results—not pressure.
