What is Short pay in freight?
A short pay is a customer paying less than the invoiced amount, usually because they dispute an accessorial or a service failure. The remaining balance sits in receivables until it is either collected or written off. Persistent short pays on one accessorial type usually point to a term that was never agreed in writing.
