Freight fraud is no longer an isolated incident—it’s a daily epidemic. Trucking and logistics companies across the country are reporting a dramatic rise in cargo theft, customer scams, and load ransom schemes. The consequences? Lost revenue, broken trust, and massive supply chain disruptions.
Fraudsters are evolving. Sophisticated fake companies are luring brokers into handing off valuable freight. Some use hacked MC numbers and DOT credentials to impersonate reputable carriers. Once the load is picked up, it disappears—or worse, is held for ransom.
Key Fraud Tactics on the Rise:
-
Impersonation of legitimate carriers
-
Bait-and-switch hauling schemes
-
Hostage loads demanding cash for delivery
-
False documentation and identity spoofing
