Carrier vetting confirms that an MC number is active and insured. It does not confirm that the person backing into the dock is the driver who was assigned to the load. Deceptive pickups sit in that gap. Brokers have been asked to add fraud checks to systems that were never built to hold them.

A cargo flight does not stop because a cockpit door failed. It stops because the crew, the aircraft and the load still have to clear the destination after a security event, and the people who make that call are not working off the same file.

Many supply chain and warehouse operators still think cargo theft starts with a pair of bolt cutters. That image is mostly wrong, and this persistent belief is costing the industry millions every year. We’re fighting against a technique of freight fraud that doesn’t really exist anymore. The FBI has said that impersonation now accounts for the majority of freight theft in this country. Not smash-and-grab or a guy with a mask and bolt cutters. It’s usually a truck showing up a
