                         ABOUT US  

Despite the "deregulation" of the transportation industry over the past several years and the resulting tariff "simplification," carriers continue to overcharge their customers through freight bill rating errors and the collection and retention of duplicate payments. At the same time, Associated Traffic Services, through our before payment (pre-audit) and after payment (post-audit) freight bill audit services, has continued to correct freight errors before they are paid and to discover freight bill overcharges.
 

We also assist our clients in reducing and controlling their freight costs by providing them with freight management reports using data from their freight bills and by providing them with our logistics consulting services and transportation software.

We maintain memberships in the following national transportation organizations:

National Industrial Transportation League
 

NASSTRAC

Transportation and Logistics Council 

California Trucking Association

Association for Transportation Law, Logistics and Policy

Some of our satisfied clients, many of whom have used our services for over 25 years, include:

Capitol Records

Makita USA

Rain Bird Corporation

Sanyo Fisher

Toyota Motor Distributors
