LTL is where dimensions become dollars
Truckload mismatches are often rate or accessorial issues. LTL adds weight, class, and density disputes that rewrite the invoice after the RC was signed.
If invoice weight diverges from RC/BOL without evidence, treat it as a reject or review — not an auto-pay.
Audit steps for LTL packets
Work the packet in this order so reweigh and reclass deltas do not slip through as “normal variance.”
- Compare declared vs billed weight
- Check freight class / NMFC notes on BOL vs invoice
- Confirm linehaul bumps are explained by reweigh/reclass policy
- Require supporting docs before paying the delta
