The Fuel Surcharge Stopped Being About Fuel
Diesel just set an all-time record, and the fuel surcharge still doesn't correlate to it. A look at what carriers' own published tables say the surcharge should be versus what they're actually charging, and why the gap is bigger than fuel.
Introducing Shipium Always-On Audit: Complete Financial Control for Shipping
Shipium is launching Always-On Audit (AOA), which validates carrier charges in real time against the rate Shipium generated at shipment, catching billing errors before refund windows close instead of reconstructing costs from month-old invoices. Unlike downstream tools like freight audit vendors, AOA runs at the source, enabling real-time recovery and root-cause fixes rather than after-the-fact reconciliation.
Prepare for Peak: Carrier Mix Guide
Most carrier portfolios get built around negotiating leverage and general capabilities. Then peak shows up and tests something different: whether your network can flex when a carrier comes up short. Here is how to size, balance, and back up your mix so your customer promises hold when volume and surcharges spike.
