Freight Is a Prime Target for Risk and Fraud

Cargo theft, double-brokering, identity spoofing, and insurance fraud have increased significantly in recent years. Without rigorous vetting, a logistics provider may unknowingly hand freight to an unqualified or fraudulent carrier—often with no chance of recovery. Criminals often exploit:

• Newly registered or “ghost” carriers
• Incomplete insurance filings
• Poorly monitored dispatch changes
• Weak onboarding processes

One Failure Can Cause A Chain-Reaction in Losses

The cost isn’t just financial; it affects service reliability, brand reputation, and long-term customer relationships. A single bad carrier decision can result in:

• Lost or stolen freight
• Missed delivery windows
• Customer shutdowns or line stoppages
• Insurance disputes and denied claims
• Regulatory and legal exposure

Freight Represents More Than Cargo

For our customers, protecting freight is mission-critical because when freight is compromised, customers don’t just lose product—they lose confidence. Freight is:

• Inventory tied to revenue
• Time-sensitive production inputs
• Brand commitments to their own customers

Reliability Is as Important as Security

Vetting ensures carriers are real, capable, compliant, and dependable. Even legitimate carriers can introduce risk if they:

• Have poor safety records
• Lack consistent on-time performance
• Operate beyond their capacity
• Fail to communicate during disruptions
