Your freight costs just went up 40%.
Your carriers aren't waiting for you to catch up.
Thirty years inside major Australian freight carriers. Now working for shippers. We tell you exactly how much your carriers are overcharging you — and recover it before June 30.
30 years inside:
Diesel per litre. Up 40% since March.
Current carrier fuel surcharges. Most shippers cannot validate them.
Australian trucking businesses closed. 12 months to November 2025.
Every CFO in Australia is watching their freight line blow out. Most don't know what's recoverable and what isn't. We do.
We work for shippers.
Companies spending between $500,000 and $15 million a year on freight. Wholesalers. Distributors. Manufacturers. FMCG. Building products. E-commerce.
We don't work for carriers.
We spent 30 years on their side of the table. We know exactly how they construct rate cards, where they build margin, and where they overcharge when nobody is watching. Now we work for the people writing the cheques.
Four services. All priced.
Express Freight Audit
$4,950 + GST
Desktop analysis of your freight invoices, carrier contracts, and surcharge structures. Using our benchmarking data and 30 years of carrier expertise, we give you one clear answer: are you overpaying, by how much, and where.
Delivered as a written report in five business days.
If you're overpaying — and most are — we tell you whether the opportunity is best captured through a Diagnostic or straight to tender. We make that recommendation in the report.
Freight Optimisation Diagnostic
$14,950 + GST
One day on-site with your logistics and finance teams. One follow-up video session. Full lane-by-lane analysis across every carrier, route, weight break, and surcharge in your network.
Written blueprint ranking every savings opportunity by dollar value and effort to capture. Delivered in 10 business days.
Express Audit already completed? $4,950 credited against this fee.
You act on the blueprint internally, or we run the tender for you.
Freight Re-tender & Implementation
From $24,950 + 20% of Year 1 savings
We write the RFQ. We manage carrier responses. We benchmark every submission against market. We negotiate the contracts. We validate the savings figure.
You get signed agreements and a number you can take to the board. Base fee determined by freight spend and carrier complexity.
Diagnostic already completed? $14,950 credited against this fee.
Contracts signed. Savings locked in. Now you need someone making sure carriers honour them.
Freight Intelligence Retainer
$3,450/month + GST
Monthly monitoring of your carrier invoices against contracted rates and market benchmarks. Quarterly surcharge validation report. Annual contract renewal advisory. Written findings delivered to your CFO or finance team each month.
Cancel with 30 days notice after the minimum term.
What this replaces: a freight analyst or procurement manager at $80,000–$120,000 per year — without the overheads or the knowledge gap.
Findings are delivered in writing. Carrier disputes and negotiations are not included in this retainer.
Most retainer clients start here after completing a Diagnostic or Tender. Intelligence without action is just information — but information delivered monthly keeps your carriers honest.
All engagements fully tax deductible before 30 June.
What we find in freight audits.
Average variance between contracted rates and billed rates.
Of invoices contain billing errors carriers have not reversed.
Fuel surcharges overstated against benchmark on average.
Of consignments have minimum charge rules misapplied.
Of parcel consignments show dimensional weight overcharges.
On a $2M freight spend, that's approximately $240,000 of recoverable or preventable cost in Year 1.
Every dollar invested before 30 June is a deduction.
