In the world of logistics, things move fast—until they don’t. A missed delivery window, damaged cargo, or a faulty refrigerated trailer can quickly spiral into finger-pointing and lost revenue. When these disputes arise, dragging them into court can stall your operations even longer. That’s where Transportation & Warehouse Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) comes in. At Discovery Experts, we specialize in helping businesses in the transportation and warehousing industries resolve disputes efficiently and fairly. Whether you’re facing a conflict over a fleet lease agreement, a breakdown in delivery service, or a claim of negligence at a storage facility, we provide the expert insight you need to reach resolution without the high cost and delays of litigation.
Let’s face it—disputes in logistics can be messy. There’s rarely a single document or piece of data that clearly explains what went wrong. Delays, service failures, and contract misinterpretations are all too common in this space. That’s why ADR has become such a vital tool.
ADR refers to methods like mediation, arbitration, and negotiated settlement. These processes offer a private, faster, and often more productive alternative to courtroom battles. But there’s a catch: they only work if both parties have a clear understanding of the facts.
That’s where Discovery Experts enters the picture. Our team brings clarity to complex cases by digging into the operational realities behind the dispute. We review contracts, maintenance logs, GPS data, delivery histories—whatever it takes to uncover what actually happened. With years of real-world experience in transportation and warehousing, we know how to separate fact from assumption.
Consider this: a carrier is accused of failing to deliver on time, but the real issue lies in an unrealistic dispatch schedule. Or a refrigerated warehouse is blamed for spoilage, but temperature logs tell a different story. These are the kinds of issues we help resolve every day.
Typical cases we support include:
The logistics chain is only as strong as its weakest link. With Discovery Experts, we help identify—and resolve—those weak points before they lead to bigger problems.
Disputes in this industry are rarely one-size-fits-all. They can involve highly specialized equipment, complex contract structures, and multiple service providers. At Discovery Experts, we tailor our approach to the unique challenges of each case.
Whether it’s a delivery truck failing on a tight schedule or an emergency vehicle facing compliance issues, we know how to uncover the root cause.
We also support disputes at Cross Docks, intermodal railyards, and storage facilities, where responsibilities between parties often blur. Visit our Case Review page to know more about our process.
Anyone can offer an opinion. But when it comes to resolving disputes, courts and arbitration panels rely on facts, not feelings. That’s why expert witnesses are essential—especially in technical, operational industries like transportation and warehousing.
Our role is to translate complex logistics processes into clear, legally sound findings. We investigate events, compare actions to industry standards, and provide unbiased reports that stand up to scrutiny.
“ADR is informal, so we don’t need experts.”
Think again. Even in mediation, a solid technical argument can mean the difference between a quick settlement and an expensive stalemate.
“Consultants can do the job of an expert witness.”
Not necessarily. A consultant may understand operations, but an expert witness must also understand the legal framework, chain of custody, and evidentiary standards. That’s where Discovery Experts excels.
We’ve worked on cases involving well-known OEMs such as Peterbilt, Mack, and International, where disputes often involve product reliability, service intervals, or performance claims. Our insights have helped resolve seven-figure conflicts through clear, unbiased technical analysis.

Let’s look at a few real-world scenarios where ADR—and Discovery Experts—made all the difference.
Fleet Contract Termination Case:
A client was facing early termination penalties on a dump vehicle lease. Our analysis showed the lessee had repeatedly overloaded the vehicle, voiding maintenance terms. The dispute was settled through arbitration, saving our client hundreds of thousands in fees.
Spoiled Inventory at a Storage Facility:
A large refrigerated warehouse was accused of improper handling. We reviewed logs and equipment data, proving that spoilage occurred in transit. ADR resolved the case in favor of the warehouse operator without going to trial.
Trend Alert:
With the growing complexity of logistics networks and third-party vendor reliance, ADR is rapidly becoming the standard resolution path. More contracts now include mandatory ADR clauses—meaning it’s more important than ever to be prepared with expert insight.
