The risk behind the shipment
Cargo theft is costly.
Verify before freight moves.
A familiar carrier name does not confirm who is collecting your load. Double brokering, stolen identities, and pickup deception create different risks. Your team needs to check the assignment, the driver, and the truck.
2025 cargo theft, U.S. and Canada
$725M
Nearly $725 million in estimated cargo-theft losses in Verisk CargoNet’s 2025 analysis, 60% higher than its 2024 comparison.

From warning sign to verification
Double brokering: what to watch for and what to verify.
| Risk | What needs attention | What your team should verify |
|---|---|---|
| Unauthorized re-brokering | The hauling company differs from the carrier your team approved. | Confirm who assigned the load, who will haul it, and whether the change was authorized. |
| Carrier identity theft | A real carrier’s name or USDOT number is paired with unfamiliar contact details. | Compare the phone number with SAFER. If it differs, call the listed number to confirm the load. |
| Pickup deception | The arriving driver, truck, or pickup instructions do not match the approved assignment. | Resolve discrepancies with a verified carrier contact and the shipping facility before release. |
| Suspicious delivery changes | Someone requests an unexpected destination or consignee change. | Confirm the request through an established contact and record who authorized it. |
A mismatch is a reason to investigate, not proof of theft. Double brokering and cargo theft can overlap, but they are not interchangeable. CargoGuard brings driver checks, truck photos, tracking, and documents together to support your team’s review.
