## Resource

In this episode of the Fraud Watch podcast, Scott Cornell breaks down a new method where bad actors are getting hired inside legitimate trucking companies to set up theft from within. He explains how these methods are discovered, why they are happening now, and what it means for brokers, carriers, and shippers. The bigger takeaway is not just the method. Theft groups are testing, adjusting, and evolving faster than the industry expects. It is a constant chess game. Awareness is the first move. Learn more about your ad choices.
