New report from industry analyst Bart De Muynck reveals how incomplete accessorial and location data is driving up costs and damaging relationships.

In LTL shipping, the numbers rarely tell the full story. Missed delivery windows, invoice disputes, and friction between shippers, brokers, and carriers are happening more often—and too often, the real cause is hiding in the data.

In this new report, longtime logistics analyst Bart De Muynck takes a closer look at the issues that don’t always show up in dashboards. It’s a candid, data-backed look at where the cracks are forming in today’s LTL workflows and what it takes to fix them.

What You’ll Learn:

• Why most billing disputes are rooted in missing or mismatched data

• How location visibility and accessorial accuracy are shaping OTIF performance

• What freight teams are doing now to move from reactive fixes to proactive planning

• Where technology is closing the gap between load planning and final delivery

Why It Matters:
Data gaps create uncertainty. That uncertainty erodes trust. In a year marked by rate volatility, labor pressure, and tight margins, LTL teams can’t afford to keep guessing.

This report offers a clear path forward. Whether you’re managing freight, brokering loads, or trying to keep carrier relationships intact, this analysis will help you do it with fewer surprises.
