Freight fraud happens in the moments you can’t afford to get wrong: the first call.
When carriers reach out to cover your loads, are you asking the right questions—or just checking the right boxes?
This practical one-page workflow from the Freight Fraud Prevention Hub gives your team a step-by-step system to take control of every carrier interaction, verify legitimacy through real operational knowledge, and spot red flags before it’s too late.
What This Workflow Helps You Do:
- Take control of inbound carrier calls from the start;
- Ask targeted questions that fraudsters can’t fake;
- Quickly separate legitimate carriers from bad actors; and
- Standardize vetting across your entire team.
Whether you’re a broker, shipper, or operations leader, this is a plug-and-play framework you can implement immediately—no complex tools required.
