Freight fraud is growing more sophisticated, and independent agents are often the first line of defense. SPI Logistics has built a system to help agents recognize, prevent, and respond to fraud before it wrecks their business.
In this episode of Everything is Logistics, Blythe sits down with Mark Funk and Shiv Narayan from SPI Logistics to share a clear action plan for agents to follow. They explain the most common fraud schemes in freight, how to identify red flags, and the steps to take when suspicious activity appears.
Key takeaways:
• Why fraud is rising in today’s freight environment
• The top warning signs every agent should look out for
• How SPI Logistics provides support when fraud strikes
• What immediate steps agents must take to protect themselves
This conversation makes it clear that every agent needs a proactive plan against fraud, and those with the right support are the ones who will stay protected and profitable.
