The Problem We Solve

Freight theft and fraud are accelerating.

  • Cargo theft incidents in the U.S. spiked 57% in 2023, 27% in 2024 and surged another 29% in 2025, pushing loss totals to record highs.
  • The average loss per theft in 2024: $203,586, not counting ripple costs like chargebacks, penalties, missed appointments, and re-tenders.
  • Criminals are using double-brokering, domain/email spoofing, and identity hijacks to target high-demand goods such as food, electronics, and pharmaceuticals.

Translation: One successful incident can erase months of margin.
In today's fraud heavy market, a rigorous, expert driven OSINT process is no longer optional, it’s a risk management necessity.

The Legal Reality — Nuclear Verdicts Against Freight Brokers

Courts have repeatedly held brokers liable when carrier vetting or control practices fall short.
Recent “nuclear verdicts” include:

  • Sperl v. C.H. Robinson (Illinois): $23.7M verdict after the broker was found vicariously liable based on the level of control over the carrier/driver.
  • Linhart v. Heyl Logistics (Oregon): $5.2M (including punitive damages) for negligent hiring where the broker failed to ensure the carrier’s fitness.

Bottom line:
Inadequate vetting isn’t just a cargo loss problem, it opens the door to significant liability risks.
