Subject
Summary:

The Defense Department (DOD) spends about $3 billion a year for commercial transportation services to move cargo, personnel, and their personal effects worldwide. DOD sometimes overpays its transportation bills or does not effectively negotiate for reduced rates. This report (1) looks at whether DOD is preventing excess payments to commercial carriers through preauditing--that is, auditing bills before payment--and (2) identifies other ways in which DOD could improve its traffic and travel management programs.
