Increase in Strategic Theft
Freight Theft Is No Longer a Rare Event
An average of six truckloads are stolen every day in the United States, with each load valued around $230,000. If you ship freight domestically, this is one of the most serious and rapidly growing threats in the logistics industry.
Over the past three years, strategic freight theft has increased by more than 1,500%, driven largely by organized fraud networks exploiting weaknesses in carrier verification and load dispatch processes.
Most theft today does not involve hijacked trucks or forced entry. Instead, it happens through strategic fraud, where criminals pose as legitimate brokers or carriers, gain access to shipment details, pick up the freight, and are never heard from again.
Freight Security Reality
“If you move enough freight, it’s no longer a matter of if, but when criminals will attempt to exploit your supply chain.”
Zero-Trust Security
A Zero-Trust Approach to Freight Security
At Rise Logistics Group, we operate under a zero-trust model when it comes to carrier verification.
Rather than assuming legitimacy, every carrier must prove their identity through multiple verification steps before being dispatched.
This approach is designed to protect both your freight and your supply chain integrity by reducing opportunities for fraud, carrier impersonation, and other preventable risks.

FAQs
Freight Security FAQs
How common is freight theft today?
Freight theft has increased significantly in recent years, with organized fraud networks targeting high-value shipments. Most modern theft occurs through identity fraud rather than physical hijacking.
What is strategic freight theft?
Strategic freight theft happens when criminals impersonate legitimate carriers or brokers, gain access to shipment details, and pick up freight under false identities.
Is freight theft preventable?
Yes. Most freight theft can be prevented by following strict, consistent carrier verification procedures on every shipment.
How do you verify carriers before dispatching a load?
Every shipment goes through a multi-step verification process including FMCSA phone verification, MC screening, identity confirmation, and secure communication validation.
Do you verify carriers using FMCSA records?
Yes. We only use contact information listed directly in FMCSA records and never rely on inbound calls or unverified contact details.
What types of carriers do you avoid?
We avoid newly issued, recently transferred, or reactivated MC numbers, which are commonly associated with fraudulent activity. We also avoid carriers that do not have a verified history with us.
Do you confirm you are speaking with the actual carrier?
Yes. We verify that we are communicating directly with the carrier owner or an authorized dispatcher before releasing any shipment details.
Do you use fraud detection tools?
Yes. We combine internal verification processes with tools like Highway to monitor carrier behavior and detect suspicious activity.
How do you prevent email spoofing?
We validate all carrier email domains and only send rate confirmations through secure, verified communication channels.
What is a zero-trust approach?
A zero-trust model means no carrier is assumed to be legitimate. Every carrier must prove their identity through multiple verification steps before being dispatched.
What is double brokering?
Double brokering occurs when a load is re-brokered to an unknown carrier without approval, removing accountability and increasing the risk of theft or loss.
How do you prevent double brokering?
We verify carrier identity, control communication channels, and ensure rate confirmations are only sent to verified contacts.
What are common freight fraud red flags?
Common red flags include mismatched email domains, refusal to verify by phone, last-minute contact changes, and pressure to move quickly without proper verification.
Do you monitor shipments in real time?
Yes. We maintain continuous oversight throughout the shipment lifecycle to identify and resolve issues early.
Do you document your verification process?
Yes. Every load includes documented proof of carrier verification, including MC validation and contact confirmation.
What insurance is available for high-value loads?
We offer additional insurance options, including full-value and gap coverage, depending on the shipment.
How do I know if my provider is secure?
If your provider cannot clearly explain their carrier verification process step-by-step, your freight may be exposed to unnecessary risk.
Can you review our freight security process?
Yes. We offer a free freight security review where we evaluate your current process, identify risks, and walk through our verification system.
