AI Freight Vetting: Protect Your Broker Network from Carrier Fraud

You're the Matchmaker of the Logistics World — But Is That Carrier Who They Claim to Be?

As a freight broker, your job revolves around building bridges—connecting shippers with trustworthy carriers. But what if the next handshake you make is with a fraudster? In today’s digital-first logistics landscape, the most damaging risks aren’t just broken promises—they're stolen loads, fake identities, and reputation-crippling scams.

Freight Brokers Are Under Siege

Fake Carriers & Identity Theft

Scammers impersonate real trucking companies, clone documents, spoof websites, and steal MC numbers to gain access to your network. One forged certificate and a signed rate confirmation later, the load’s gone.

Stolen Loads from Trusting Brokers

A seemingly verified carrier disappears with high-value freight. No tracking, no delivery, no recourse—just damage to your credibility and your client’s business.

Compliance Lapses That Slip Through the Cracks

Even trusted carriers can lapse—expired insurance, revoked authority, or regulatory violations. If you're manually checking compliance, you're already behind.

How AI Solves the Trust Problem for Freight Brokers

1. AI-Powered Carrier Vetting

Machine learning scrapes DOT records, carrier reviews, safety history, and fraud blacklists in seconds. It scores each carrier based on risk, revealing red flags humans would miss.

2. Real-Time Compliance Monitoring

Instead of static snapshots, AI continuously monitors every carrier in your database for insurance expirations, revocations, authority changes, or negative reports—alerting you the moment something changes.

3. Load Match Verification

AI cross-references tendered loads with historical fraud patterns, helping detect anomalies like reused MC numbers, duplicate bank info, or suspicious bidding activity.

4. Behavioral Pattern Recognition

By analyzing thousands of past fraud cases, AI learns the behavioral signals of scam carriers. Even without a criminal record, bad actors give themselves away through data signals—and AI doesn’t miss them.
