Experts say many trucking companies still do not share enough information about scams, cargo theft, and online attacks. This makes it easier for criminals to target more carriers and brokers.
Today’s freight criminals use fake carrier accounts, stolen MC numbers, phishing emails, and load board scams to steal loads and money.
Industry groups say trucking companies need better ways to report scams and warn each other about threats.
The National Motor Freight Traffic Association (NMFTA) is working on a new system where companies can report cybercrime and cargo theft incidents anonymously.
Freight fraud and cargo theft have increased in recent years as criminals use more advanced technology and online tools.
