Fraud is a hot topic in the industry right now, given recent increases in fraudulent activity. With more than $700 billion estimated annually in the freight business here in the U.S., both success and suspicious activity come as a result. To mitigate risk, here are some helpful steps to be aware of:
Use a trusted broker to take the stress off of you: FetchReady is Fetch Freight’s comprehensive carrier compliance technology, including two-factor authentication.
Stay updated: ensure all your data is current and correct to avoid falling for outdated information scammers might use.
As always, verify rates, especially unrealistic rates, being cautious of rates that seem too good to be true, as scammers might quote rates without intending to pay.
Report fraudulent movers to FMCSA authorities and your state law enforcement.
