Freight Fraud Prevention: Keeping Your Shipments Secure

These days, any freight broker can find a truck. Load boards, rating platforms, and carrier search tools are available to everyone. But in an industry where fraudulent carriers and double brokering scams are skyrocketing, simply finding a truck isn’t enough.

At Accurate Logistics Group, our freight fraud prevention strategy goes beyond a quick carrier check. We use multi-layered screening to protect your shipments from ghost trucks, double brokering, and other costly scams.

A Multi-Layered Screening Process

Before assigning a carrier to your freight, our team conducts a rigorous multi-step vetting process to ensure reliability and security. We cross-reference:

• Identity verification to confirm carrier legitimacy

• FMCSA compliance to ensure up-to-date certifications

• Behavioral trends such as double brokering risk, cancellation patterns, and on-time performance

Why Freight Fraud Prevention Matters More Than Ever

Carrier fraud, ghost trucks, and late pickups are on the rise. In fact, double brokering scams have surged by over 400% in recent years, costing shippers and brokers millions of dollars annually.

The cost of choosing the wrong carrier goes beyond a missed delivery—it can mean financial losses, compliance issues, and damaged client relationships.

That’s why our clients don’t just rely on us to move freight—they rely on us to move it with confidence.

Red Flags to Watch for When Choosing a Carrier

Even with a trusted logistics partner, it’s helpful to know what to look out for. Here are a few common signs of carrier fraud:

• Incomplete or inconsistent documentation – A reputable carrier should have verifiable insurance, operating authority, and company details.

• Unusual payment requests – If a carrier insists on quick payments via untraceable methods, proceed with caution.

• Frequent name or address changes – Fraudulent companies often change names to avoid detection.

• Unreachable or vague references – A reliable carrier should have easily verifiable reviews and references.
