Automated D&D Invoice Audit for
Freight
Forwarders.
Your carriers have been overcharging you on D&D —
and most of it is legally disputable.
  • Since May 2024, FMC rules require carriers to put specific mandatory fields on every D&D invoice.
  • Most carriers don't comply — which makes those charges legally disputable.
  • We audit your past invoices, flag every disputable charge, and recover what you're owed — at zero upfront cost.

Why this matters to you

D&D overbilling is common.
Most forwarders never catch it.

If your team handles demurrage and detention invoices and has ever paid one without a line-by-line check — you're likely leaving money on the table.

Invoices arrive without a breakdown

Carrier D&D invoices give you a total, not an itemized audit trail. Without checking each charge against terminal calendars and FMC rules, you can't know what's wrong.

Two clocks, two sets of rules

Terminal LFD and carrier per diem run on separate calendars with different free-day counts. Overbilling happens when carriers apply the wrong rules — and most forwarders never catch it.

The law is on your side

FMC § 541 requires mandatory fields on every D&D invoice. One missing field can void it. Most carriers aren't compliant. Most forwarders don't know to check.

D&D Exposure Estimator

How much are you exposed to?

Enter your monthly container volume. We'll show you the scale of your D&D exposure — how much of that is actually recoverable depends on your invoices, which we assess on the discovery call.

Total shipments you handle monthly
Assumptions used: Industry average of 15% of containers incur D&D charges (Freightos 2025). Average D&D invoice = $600 ≈ 4 excess days × $150/day at LA/LB ports (ShippingRates.org 2026). How much of this is disputable depends on your specific invoices and carrier — we assess that on the call.
