Not all $1,000,000 auto liability policies are created equal.

In transportation and logistics, it's easy to see a Certificate of Insurance (COI) and assume the coverage is sufficient. However, a COI is only proof that insurance exists. It doesn't tell the full story.

Details such as whether coverage applies to Any Auto or only Scheduled Autos, along with endorsements, exclusions, and other policy conditions, can significantly impact coverage when a claim occurs.

At UCW Logistics, we believe due diligence goes beyond verifying a policy is active. Understanding the coverage behind the certificate helps identify potential gaps and better manage risk across the supply chain.

Same limit. Different coverage. Different exposure.

A Certificate of Insurance (COI) provides proof of coverage, but it doesn't reveal the full policy. Learn what to look for carrier insurance.

Congratulations to J.R. Bishop on his two year anniversary at UCW Logistics!

Our Controller, Matthew Campbell couldn't have said it better, "JR has taken over a lot in two years, reorganized billing, accounts payable. Helped our team lower our days sales outstanding by processing orders more quickly, key cog in maintaining good relationships with carriers by paying them accurately and on time

That's all mumbo jumbo stuff. Good teammate, has integrated well with all the teams at UCW, and a great representative of UCW's core values."

Thank you for all you do JR, join us in thanking/celebrating JR for his 2 years of service.

Carrier fraud often starts with small changes that go unnoticed.

Before booking a load, watch for:
• New phone numbers or email addresses
• Changes to company names, DBAs, or contacts
• Updates to payment or factoring information
• Inconsistent information across platforms

At UCW Logistics, we verify every load, every time:
• Carrier authority & insurance status
• Contact information accuracy
• Coverage limits for the shipment value
• Lane history and operating patterns

Verify. Question. Protect. Every change matters. Every load counts.

Freight fraud is on the rise, and it's becoming harder to spot.

Did you know that a legitimate MC number doesn't always mean you're working with the actual carrier?

Red flags to watch for: 🔴 Recently changed phone numbers or email addresses 🔴 Requests to rush the load tender process 🔴 Equipment that doesn't match the carrier's profile 🔴 Unusual email domains or contact information 🔴 Last-minute changes to driver or truck details

Before you tender a load, take a moment to verify the carrier's identity, not just their MC number.

A few extra minutes can save thousands in losses and prevent major service disruptions.

Learn more in our Freight Fraud Awareness Guide below.
