Summary
Freight fraud hasn’t slowed down. It’s evolved. Cargo theft, identity fraud, phishing attacks, double brokering, fake carriers… the tactics keep changing, and the companies staying ahead are the ones paying attention to both operations and cybersecurity. In this replay of Driving Forward, Nate Johnson is joined by Dale Prax of FreightValidate, Steve Vest of Nationwide Equipment Transportation, and Robert Bain of GLCS for a conversation focused on where freight fraud is heading and what trucking companies should be doing right now to reduce exposure. Together they discuss: 👉 Emerging freight fraud tactics impacting carriers and brokers 👉 Cybersecurity gaps that often lead to larger operational risks 👉 Red flags hidden in dispatching, rate confirmations, and factoring 👉 Why relying too heavily on technology without process controls creates vulnerabilities 👉 Steps companies can take to strengthen operations before fraud happens This conversation goes beyond headlines and theory. It’s a practical look at how fraud actually works inside freight operations and where companies are still getting caught off guard. Whether you’re running a fleet, managing brokerage operations, handling risk, or overseeing IT and security, this is a conversation worth revisiting.
