SCAM SPOTLIGHT: Double Brokering What is it? Double brokering is the illegal act of a broker or carrier transferring a load to another trucking company without notifying the shipper. Illegitimate carriers and brokers accept a load for a set fee with no intention of hauling the payload. Instead, they pass the freight onto another trucking company for transport at a lower rate and pocket the difference. The most malicious form of double brokering is when the illegitimate party accepts payment, pockets the fee, and disappears without paying the carrier. Then the legitimate carrier will request payment from the broker or shipper who has already paid the fraudster. So the broker or shipper ends up paying twice or the legitimate carrier doesn't get paid at all. QuikSkopes Suggestions: 1. See how long the carrier has been in business, 90 days is a good threshold 2. Make sure the phone number or email address matches what is showing in the carriers' FMSCA record. If it’s different, ask why. 3. Don't hesitate to stop the transaction. If something doesn't feel right, trust your intuition. This is our sweet spot! QuikSkope cross-references broker and MC information in real-time which occurs at the load level before the pickup number is released. Before pickup occurs, a driver will verify themselves through the QuikSkope platform via a secure link. If fraud is detected, the pickup number will not released and the hired MC and broker will immediately be notified. Interested in a demo or trying it out for free?!

New Bill to Combat Freight Fraud Introduced in the House! 🏛️ A bipartisan effort is underway to crack down on fraudulent freight brokers and trucking companies with the introduction of the Household Goods Shipping Consumer Protection Act. This bill, championed by Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton (D) and Rep. Mike Ezell (R), aims to bring integrity back to the freight industry. 🚚✨ 🔹 Key Features of the Bill: - Stricter Registration Requirements: All freight carriers and brokers must now have a designated principal place of business and disclose any relationships involving common ownership or management with other carriers or brokers. - Enhanced Enforcement Powers: Federal officials can withhold, suspend, amend, or revoke registrations for brokers or carriers failing to comply. - Targeting Fraud: Focus on eliminating fake brokers and carriers who exploit the system without a physical address, making it harder for them to scam shippers and consumers. 🔹 Industry Support: This bill has garnered near-unanimous support from all sectors of the industry, including endorsements from: OOIDA, American Trucking Associations’ Moving & Storage Conference, TIA, NASTC, Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance, Institute for Safer Trucking, Road Safe America. TIA President and CEO Anne Reinke emphasizes that combating fraud is essential for protecting all stakeholders in the industry and ensuring a stable economic environment. Similarly, NASTC President David Owen highlights the bill's requirement for a tangible place of business as a critical step in disrupting online fraud schemes. 📈 Why It Matters: This legislation is crucial for maintaining the integrity of the freight market and protecting consumers from fraudulent practices. By ensuring stricter controls and transparency, it aims to foster a more trustworthy and reliable logistics industry. Let's support this significant move towards a fraud-free freight industry! 🚛🛡️ #FreightFraud #Logistics #TransportSafety #TruckingIndustry #BipartisanBill #ConsumerProtection #FreightIntegrity #LogisticsReform
