The Freight Fraud Prevention Hub Partner Program brings together trusted organizations across the transportation ecosystem to operate within a shared framework for fraud prevention. Partners contribute knowledge, participation, and alignment (not promotion) to help the industry educate, detect, and prevent freight fraud at scale.
This page explains how the program works, what participation looks like, and how impact is created.
The Partnership Model
The Partner Program is intentionally designed around collaboration, standards alignment, and shared responsibility.
Participation does not imply endorsement by the National Motor Freight Traffic Association, Inc.® (NMFTA)™, nor does it function as a sales or sponsorship marketplace. Instead, partners collaborate with NMFTA to prioritize:
- Industry-wide education;
- Credible, neutral guidance;
- Stronger identity and fraud-prevention signals; and
- Alignment with established and emerging standards.
NMFTA curates and oversees all partner participation to ensure credibility, consistency, and trust across the supply chain.
What Partner Participation Looks Like
Partners contribute in ways that align with their expertise, capabilities, and level of engagement. Participation may include:
- Contributing educational content, insights, or research;
- Participating in webinars, panels, or working sessions;
- Supporting fraud awareness and prevention initiatives;
- Sharing best practices that strengthen detection and prevention; and
- Collaborating on guidance that helps the industry respond to emerging fraud tactics.
Not every partner participates in the same way. The program is designed to scale with engagement, while maintaining clear expectations and oversight.
What Partners Are Expected to Do
To protect the integrity of the Hub and the industry, partners are expected to:
- Align with NMFTA’s freight fraud prevention principles;
- Participate in good faith and with educational intent;
- Respect NMFTA’s standards;
- Avoid behavior that creates confusion, bias, or misuse of trust; and
- Maintain ongoing engagement appropriate to their role.
Partner participation is reviewed and maintained, not permanent by default.
What the Partner Program Is Not
To preserve neutrality and trust, the Partner Program:
- Is not a sales or lead-generation channel;
- Does not promote vendor-first or competitive messaging;
- Does not provide endorsements or product rankings; and
- Does not allow partners to control Hub narratives or standards.
Education and ecosystem integrity always come first.
How Partners Are Recognized
Approved partners may be recognized through:
- Partner listings within the Freight Fraud Prevention Hub;
- Participation in NMFTA-led educational content;
- Involvement in events, webinars, or industry initiatives; and
- Inclusion in awareness efforts tied to fraud prevention themes.
Why This Model Works
The Partner Program works because it:
- Connects fragmented fraud signals across the industry;
- Encourages shared responsibility instead of isolated action;
- Scales education and awareness beyond any one organization; and
- Reinforces trusted standards, verification, and consistency.
“When organizations operate within a shared framework, fraud becomes harder, and trust becomes easier.”

FAQs
No. The Partner Program is not a standing committee and does not require routine meetings. Participation is flexible and based on your organization’s role, expertise, and capacity. Some partners may choose to engage in occasional working sessions or webinars, but ongoing meeting attendance is not required.
Partner involvement is designed to be scalable. Some partners contribute periodically through educational input or awareness efforts, while others engage more actively in initiatives aligned with their expertise. NMFTA works with partners to ensure participation is purposeful and respectful of time commitments.
Participation can be ongoing or initiative-based. Partners may engage in specific efforts (such as contributing to a resource, participating in a webinar, or supporting a campaign) without committing to continuous involvement.
Partners are encouraged, but not required, to support industry awareness of fraud prevention best practices. Any promotional participation is collaborative, educational, and aligned with NMFTA’s standards. This program is not a marketing obligation.
No. Partner participation does not constitute endorsement. NMFTA maintains neutrality and editorial control across the Hub. Partners are recognized for their contribution to education and collaboration—not for commercial offerings.

Because freight fraud is a shared operational threat. Participation helps strengthen industry-wide trust, reduce fraud risk, and contribute to a safer, more resilient freight ecosystem—benefits that extend beyond any single organization.
There is no required fee to apply to become a partner in the Freight Fraud Prevention Hub. Initial participation is based on alignment with the program’s mission, not payment.
The Partner Program is designed to evolve over time. As the program matures, NMFTA may introduce optional, tiered participation models tied to deeper engagement, expanded collaboration, or enhanced recognition, always with transparency and clear value.
No. The Partner Program is not a sponsorship, advertising, or lead-generation program. Participation is centered on education, collaboration, and standards alignment, not commercial promotion.
Instead of fees, partners are expected to contribute through meaningful participation such as educational input, collaboration on initiatives, or support of fraud prevention best practices. Participation is reviewed to ensure it remains active and aligned.
