Freight broker desk auditing a carrier invoice before payment

Use this on every packet

Print it, pin it, or automate it. The checklist below is what a careful desk reviews before releasing payment.

  • Invoice number and PRO unique for your org
  • Load reference matches rate confirmation
  • Carrier name / MC consistent with RC
  • Linehaul and fuel within policy vs RC
  • Accessorials authorized + evidenced
  • Weight / pieces consistent across invoice, RC, BOL/POD
  • Dates and currency present and readable
  • No duplicate of a prior paid or validated invoice

Automate the checklist

Jorora Freight Audit runs these checks as versioned rules and returns Approve, Needs Review, or Reject with a report your team can defend.

Turn the checklist into a decision

Don't just print the list — see the checklist outcome on a sample, then run your real packet in minutes.
