On the heels of my post yesterday about double brokering, I have caught 2 more this morning. Customers, shippers, and carriers HAVE TO BE VIGILENT in this market. Here are few things you can do to protect yourself and your cargo: (And customers/shippers, if you use brokers and they do not have a system like this in place, drop them like a bad habit) 1. You must be a phone based company, not just email 2. Only call numbers listed on the SAFER website https://lnkd.in/exz_DCta 3. Dispatcher drivers only, not dispatchers. If a driver wont answer for me, I drop the carrier from the load 4. Get a picture of the driver's license and send that to the shipper so that once the driver is on site, all info can be verified. 5. Always get truck and trailer info and make sure they are tracking on some form of tracking software *There are many more ways, however these are the most basic and will catch and stop most of the scammers out there.
