The freight market has had its highs and lows, but what we’re seeing today is different.
Since the pandemic, the industry has been flooded with unqualified CDL operators, shell companies, and organized criminal groups who have learned how to exploit the system. These scams are getting more sophisticated every day.
We’re hearing more and more stories of:
• Cargo theft
• Fraudulent carriers
• Shipments being detained
• Licensed authorities being sold and misused
In our Little Rock office alone, we catch 4–5 fraudulent carriers or brokers every single day. Half our time is spent verifying who is real and protecting our customers from becoming victims of these scams.
So if it takes us a little longer to get your quote back, thank you for your patience.
We’re not just looking for the lowest rate. We’re making sure the carrier is legal, licensed, verified, and trustworthy.
If you'd like tips for spotting fraud or want us to help verify a carrier, just reach out - we’re happy to help.
