In this lesson
- Verify every broker and shipper through records and phone numbers you find yourself. Never trust the contact details inside the email, posting or rate confirmation you are checking.
- The three checks that stop most fraud: active FMCSA authority with a $75,000 bond on file, an email domain that matches the real company, and a call-back on a number from an independent source.
- The scams you will meet: carrier identity theft (MC hijacking), fictitious pickups, double brokering, spoofed brokers, bait loads, advance-fee cons, bank-detail changes and AI voice impersonation.
- A written call-back policy and a change-of-bank-details policy protect a carrier better than any single tool.
- When something feels wrong, stop. A lost load costs a few hundred dollars. A stolen trailer of copper costs several hundred thousand.
