I wanted to take the time to write to you and your team to make sure we are recognizing the amazing work that has been delivered over the past 6 months for (our company). We never doubted that Logistics Plus was able to handle our business model and make a good association with us as it was sold very well. ? Delivery was the real test. After seeing the immense turnover in adapting to our model, getting educated on our assortment, adapting to endless changes, and making the impossible flawless, LP has not only proven dedication, flexibility, and competences; but furthermore…a true partner for (our company) to succeed and scale. It was important for me to on-board right, strong, and make a drastic change in our company to find the right fit. Your team and you have both gave me the trust and confidence to move ahead, on-board London, and perfect our practices in 2020.
Thank you very much for being a right hand, mind, and support to us all. Without LP, our business would still be launching! (LOL)

The average Super Bowl halftime show only lasts around 13 minutes, but the multi-million dollar production takes months of extreme planning and coordination with thousands of people working behind the scenes. As one of the world’s most viewed performances, the show can’t afford a single mistake or disruption. What’s the main challenge? Setting up a fully-functional stage in a matter of 6 to 7 minutes without damaging the field.
Planning, Coordination, and Execution
The biggest logistical challenge behind the Super Bowl halftime show is setting up the stage the minute the first half of the game ends. The stage itself is wheeled onto the field using about 40 separate carts, which each require about 10-12 people to move. On top of the stage, an additional 15 to 20 carts carrying audio equipment get transported to the field. In the days leading up to the Super Bowl, hundreds of trucks arrive to the venue with deliveries of stage materials, props, electrical equipment, generators, and much more. Every minor detail including delivery windows, returns and item replacements, and storage locations are taken into consideration. Just one small hiccup in this process can change the outlook on one of the biggest days of the year.
Frank Supovitz, former Senior Vice President of Events for the National Football League (NFL) commented on the logistics of the Super Bowl. “The Super Bowl is a living, breathing organism,” Frank said. “It’s subject to surprises at any corner and any level.”
Planning and coordination have been, and always will be, a major part of logistics. The Super Bowl is no different, as military-like precision is required to successfully pull off the single biggest sporting event on Earth. Although most people believe that logistics only involves moving something from point A to point B, it’s the planning and execution behind each delivery and setup that makes all the difference.
As freight rates become increasingly complex due to changing fuel surcharges, accessorials and discounts, it’s easy for freight carriers to make mistakes on their invoices. To solve this problem, freight bill auditing is used to capture lost revenue from errors or inaccuracies with freight invoicing. Although it may seem like a cumbersome task to shippers, there are many cost-saving benefits to implementing a freight bill auditing program.
The Most Common Freight Bill Errors
Shipper Inaccuracy: When the staff processing the shipment makes a mistake, it causes the carrier to obtain inaccurate information for the shipment (e.g., giving the wrong dimensions or freight class).
Detention Fees: Inaccurate detention fees are common on freight bills. A detention fee is charged when the shipper exceeds the allotted time frame allowed for a pickup or delivery.
Accessorial Charges: Because there are so many different accessorial services and fees, it’s easy for a carrier to charge the shipper for an extra accessorial that they didn’t ask for (e.g., lift-gate or notify before delivery).
Ways To Keep Freight Auditing Under Control
Prior to tendering a shipment, always reweigh it to ensure your freight carrier or transportation management system (TMS) has the proper information it needs to give you an accurate quote.
Stay up-to-date with the individual carrier processes for submitting invoice corrections. Methods by each carrier vary and it is best to have each process documented and understood.
Review each invoice to make sure that all data matches the original shipment details. This includes the pickup date, delivery confirmation, weight, dimensions, freight class, etc.
Outsource your freight bill auditing to a third-party logistics (3PL) company. Logistics Plus Freight Audit Solutions (LPFAS) incorporates a comprehensive 3-point check to ensure that your small pack, parcel, LTL, truckload, and international invoices are accurate, disputed when necessary, and adjustments are made when needed (including “claw-back” refunds on small package shipments for missed guarantees, non-tendered shipments, etc.).
Shippers that don’t have a freight audit program in place are losing money every day. If you’re tired of fighting invoice discrepancies and mistakes that are costing you money, contact us today.
