How does Haversack find out what we're overpaying?

We start with an operational audit, pulling your historic data across LTL, FTL, and specialty freight shipments, and benchmark your carrier rates against current market data. Most manufacturers see the biggest gaps in LTL freight reclassification and unaudited accessorial charges.

What does the gain-share model mean in practice?

Haversack's gain-share model means our fees are tied to the savings we deliver. We identify the recoverable freight spend in your operation through carrier renegotiation, invoice recovery, and rate benchmarking, and share in the result. If the savings aren't there, the fee isn't there.

How long does it take to see results?

Most manufacturers see initial savings within the first 60-90 days. The operational audit happens first, and the carrier renegotiation and TMS implementation run in parallel and typically complete within the first 30 days. The invoice audit runs continuously from day one.

Do you work with manufacturers with multiple plants?

Yes. Multi-plant coordination is one of the areas where Haversack delivers the most value. Consolidating freight visibility and carrier pricing across plant locations into a single platform removes the fragmentation that typically drives the highest overpayment. Haversack has worked with manufacturers managing 22 locations across a single freight operation.

What freight modes do you cover?

Haversack covers domestic LTL, FTL, and specialized transportation, including oversized and heavyweight freight. For manufacturers managing separate brokers for each mode today, Haversack consolidates that under one platform with unified visibility and pricing.

What makes Haversack different from other logistics providers?

Haversack is not a 3PL or a 4PL. We are an insource logistics partner. We offer daily and strategic support to ensure your team has the visibility, tools, and expertise to run your freight operation independently and successfully. You keep the carrier relationships, data, and institutional data. If you ever move on, your freight operation moves with you.

Your freight costs more than it
should. We can show you how much.

Most manufacturers have accepted freight as a broken cost center. Reclassifications, fuel surcharges, accessorial fees — the charges pile up, the disputes don't happen, and overpayments go unquestioned.

Haversack partners with manufacturers to change that. We put our own performance on the line, so you don't have to take our word for it.

THE REALITY

Freight is the cost center nobody has time to fix.

Here's what we see when we work with manufacturers: most are overpaying by 10–25% without a clear picture of where it's going. LTL freight gets reclassified after it ships. Carriers add fuel surcharges with no notice. Accessorial fees show up on invoices that nobody has time to dispute. The overpayment gets absorbed into COGS, and the next quarter looks the same as the last.

It's not that your team isn't doing their job. It's that freight invoice auditing requires a dedicated process, carrier benchmarking data, and time that manufacturing operations teams simply don't have.

When we partner with manufacturers, the first thing we look at are your freight costs, carrier structure, and visibility gaps so you know exactly what's working, what isn't, and what it's costing you.

Three pillars. One engineered solution.

Haversack, an insource logistics management solution, builds every engagement around a conversation. We listen, then build a custom framework around three interconnected pillars, each powered by a dedicated product inside our proprietary Haversack TMS. Visibility informs control, and control drives measurable impact.

VISIBILITY

NETWORK MANAGEMENT

Track your freight in real time

A delayed load that nobody caught in time isn't just a missed delivery for a manufacturer, it's a line stoppage, a broken customer commitment, and a scramble
your team shouldn't have to manage.

Network Management gives your team a complete, live picture of every shipment in motion, with proactive alerts before exceptions escalate.

Live shipment tracking with an interactive map view of every active load.
Automated milestone notifications from booking through delivery.
Root cause analysis on delays to identify patterns and prevent recurrence.

CONTROL

LOAD BOARD

Carriers compete for your freight, not the other way around

Haversack Load Board puts your loads on an open bid board where carriers compete for your business. You gain full ownership of carrier selection and booking, with documentation generated automatically and all load management in one place.

A competitive FTL bid board puts your shipments in front of carriers who compete on price.
LTL rates are reduced through expert carrier negotiation and custom shipping plans.
A vendor portal lets your suppliers book inbound freight at your approved rates and carriers.

PERFORMANCE DASHBOARD

Turn freight from a cost line into a managed number

Performance Dashboard gives your operations and finance teams the reporting layer that makes freight a number you can defend, manage, and improve quarter over quarter. Paired with weekly invoice audits, every dollar you pay is a dollar you actually owe.

Weekly operational audit catches overbilling so overcharges are disputed and recovered.
Market benchmarking compares your rates against the live truckload index.
Lane and carrier analytics give your team freight spend dashboards by lane, carrier, and product line.

How we work with you.

STEP 1 - OPERATIONAL AUDIT

We show you what you're overpaying before you commit to anything.

We start by pulling your historic invoices across LTL, FTL, and specialty freight and benchmarking your carrier rates against current market data. We identify invoice errors, accessorial overcharges, LTL reclassifications, and build a clear picture of the recoverable overpayment in your operation. The audit is at no cost to you.

STEP 2 - IMPLEMENTATION

We build and configure your freight operation.

We deploy Haversack TMS alongside your team and configure it around your lanes, carriers, and ERP. MOst clients are fully operational within days, with real-time tracking, load management, and active performance reporting from the start. Your freight operation stays yours while we provide the platform, the expertise, and the daily support.

STEP 3 - CONTINUOUS OPTIMIZATION

We stay engaged and earn when you save.

Our gain-share model means our performance is tied to yours. We continuously identify new savings opportunities through carrier renegotiation, invoice recovery, and rate benchmarking. If we don't deliver savings, we don't get paid for them. That's how we prefer to operate, and it's reflected in our 98% client referral and retention rate.

HEAVY MACHINERY

A Heavy Equipment Manufacturer Recovered $1.6M After Unifying a Fragmented 22-Department Freight Operation.

A heavy equipment manufacturer operating across 22 departments had no unified view of freight spend, no consolidated carrier strategy, and no mechanism to audit invoices across a complex mix of FTL, LTL, and specialized transportation. Costs were climbing without visibility into where the overpayment was concentrated.

After partnering with Haversack, they achieved $1.6M in documented savings and removed 7,000 miles from transport routes without any operational disruptions.

CONSUMER PACKAGING

A Flexible Packaging Manufacturer Recovered $1.375M and Expanded into 5 New Markets.

A leading supplier of flexible packaging products was routing all FTL and LTL shipments through a single provider - limiting competitive pricing, producing high labor costs, and generating overcharges that went unaudited. Without tracking visibility or freight bill auditing, on-time delivery performance had dropped below industry standards, creating customer service problems that threatened growth.

After partnering with Haversack, on-time performance increased 38% and they expanded into five new locations, capturing a 7% increase in market share.
