Not every carrier is the right fit — even if they look good on paper.

At Accurate Logistics Group, assigning a truck isn’t just about availability. Every shipment goes through a multi-layered screening process designed to protect your freight and ensure reliable delivery from start to finish.

Whether you’re moving high-value cargo, temperature-sensitive goods, or anything in between — here’s how we make sure the carrier we assign is one you can count on.

1. We Verify FMCSA Compliance and Insurance

Before anything else, we confirm the carrier’s operating authority, safety rating, and insurance coverage using FMCSA databases.

We check for:

Active authority and status
Adequate insurance limits
Up-to-date filings and safety reviews

This is our first filter — ensuring we’re only considering fully compliant freight carriers.

2. We Flag Risk Patterns Others Miss

Some issues don’t show up in the numbers. That’s why our team looks for:

Dispatcher changes or conflicting company info
Cancellation trends or consistent late deliveries
Signs of double brokering or freight mishandling

If something feels off, we don’t move forward. Because avoiding freight fraud starts before the truck is ever dispatched.

3. We Prioritize Vetted, High-Performing Carriers

Most of our freight moves through a trusted network of vetted carriers — professionals we’ve worked with before and rely on regularly.

That means less risk, more consistency, and peace of mind for customers who don’t want surprises when freight is in motion.

But double brokering isn’t the only threat. Here are a few other scams we keep an eye out for — and why our process goes beyond the basics:

🔍 Other Types of Freight Scams We Watch For

• Identity Theft / Ghost Carriers Scammers pose as legitimate companies using stolen MC or DOT numbers — often leaving shippers with a missing load and no recourse.

• Fake Dispatchers You might notice conflicting names or “new contacts” every time. It’s a common tactic in double brokering or fraud — and a major red flag.

• Fake Load Boards or Shady Rate Bait Sometimes scammers list “too good to be true” loads, collect money upfront, and disappear. We avoid them with experience, tools, and caution.

The Right Carrier Isn’t Just Available — They're Verified.

Carrier fraud. Ghost trucks. Missed pickups. These issues are rising industry-wide. But we stay ahead of it with strict vetting — before any truck is booked.

Whether it’s your first load or your hundredth, our process stays the same: proactive, thorough, and built for confidence.
