Your actual cost breakdown
Spend split into base transportation, accessorials, fuel and adjustments, so you can see how much of your invoice is not transportation at all.

Shipping scorecard
Send us one invoice. We will show you the leaks.
Upload a recent carrier invoice and your rate agreement. An account manager runs a lane-level and surcharge-level comparison against our negotiated programmes and sends back a written scorecard in one to two business days. No cost, no platform sign-up, no obligation, and the analysis is yours to keep whether or not you work with us.
The deliverable
What comes back
A document you can act on, not a sales summary. Most shippers use it to renegotiate with the carrier they already have.
Surcharge frequency
Which accessorials fire, how often, and on which SKUs or box profiles. This is usually the number that surprises people most.
Benchmark comparison
What comparable volume pays, lane by lane. Measured against what shippers with a similar profile actually hold, not a published rate card.
Which terms to fix first
Base discount, earned tiers, minimum charge, dimensional divisor and accessorial concessions, ranked by what each is worth on your volume.
Before you upload
What to send
Two documents do most of the work. Anything else is a bonus, and if you only have one of them, send it anyway.
- NeededA recent carrier invoice Ideally a full billing period rather than a single shipment. The more lines it has, the more accurately we can profile your weight, zone and surcharge distribution. Multiple periods are better still.
- NeededYour current rate agreement The pricing agreement itself, not a summary of it. This is where the discounts, earned tiers, minimum charge and dimensional divisor actually live, and it is what tells us which terms are weak.
- HelpfulA shipment manifest or export A CSV or spreadsheet of recent shipments with dimensions and weights. This lets us model dimensional weight properly rather than inferring it.
- HelpfulA bill of lading or freight invoice If you move pallets as well as parcels, include one. Mode comparison is frequently where the largest single saving turns up.
Accepted formats
PDF, CSV, XLSX, XLS, PNG and JPG. Up to 10 MB in total per submission. A clear photo of a paper invoice is fine if that is what you have. Larger files can be emailed to Team@LiftCommerce.net.
Would rather not upload?
Plenty of shippers will not put a rate agreement into a web form, and that is a reasonable position. Book a call instead and we will work out the best way to share it.

How your documents are handled
- Reviewed only by the analyst preparing your scorecard.
- Never shared with a carrier or a third party.
- Deleted on request at any point.
- Redact anything you would rather not send. Account numbers are not needed to read a rate structure.
An NDA before you send anything is fine — just ask.
What happens next
- We confirm receipt the same business day and tell you if anything is missing.
- An account manager profiles your service mix, weight and zone distribution and surcharge frequency.
- You get the written scorecard in one to two business days.
- You decide what to do with it. Renegotiate with your carrier, or move volume to us. Both are fine.
Questions
Before you send anything
Is this actually free?
Yes, and there is no platform sign-up attached to it. We do this because a shipper who can see exactly what they are overpaying for is an easier conversation than one who cannot. If the analysis shows your rates are already strong, we will tell you that.
What if I am locked into a contract?
Worth doing anyway. Knowing what your agreement should be worth is what gives you a position at renewal, and most agreements have more flexibility than shippers assume. The scorecard also tells you when your term actually ends, which people are frequently unsure about.
Do you contact my carrier?
No. We never approach your carrier, and your documents are not shared with them. What you do with the analysis afterwards is entirely your decision.
I only have an invoice, not the agreement.
Send the invoice. We can profile your shipping and identify where the surcharges are landing from that alone. The agreement makes the benchmark sharper and lets us tell you which specific terms are weak, so send it later if you can find it.
How much history should I send?
One full billing period is the minimum useful amount. Three months is better, because it smooths out seasonal distortion. If you have a full year, send it — peak-period surcharge exposure is often where the biggest surprise sits.
Can I redact things first?
Yes. Account numbers, customer names and addresses can all be removed without affecting the analysis. What we need to read are the rates, weights, zones and surcharge lines.
Not ready to upload?
Book thirty minutes and we will talk through what to look for on your own invoice.
