VRCG, Inc. is really good at shipping and logistics, but…..
Trucking fraud is still out there!
From the 1/26/26 edition of Vehicle Remarketing:
With fraudulent schemes on the rise, 2025 has seen a sharp spike in stolen vehicles across all major load boards.
Carriers, shippers, and their numerous fleet and dealer clients who transport vehicles must learn to distinguish between red flags and green lights.
The theft surge has exposed critical vulnerabilities in the industry’s ability to detect and prevent fraudulent carrier behavior before it leads to financial and reputational damage.
In the worst-case scenario, a fraudulent carrier picks up a vehicle from an individual customer or dealership. stealing it. The recovery rate for stolen vehicles sits around 50%, but the chances of recovery are close to nil once thieves dismantle the vehicle for parts or traffic it through black markets.
For an industry where a single unit can represent six figures in value, one successful scam can devastate the finances and damage the reputations of the shipper and carrier.
How Scammers Access the Industry
In the past, scammers created fake carrier companies to steal loads. When carriers put safeguards in place to distinguish between legitimate and fraudulent transactions, scammers stepped up. They started posing as legitimate carriers.
They could steal their identity, access their accounts by hacking passwords, or resort to various common scams, even outside the industry. But scammers are smart and have invented ways to get past roadblocks, which is why shippers and carriers must put up additional guards.
VRCG, Inc. says BE ON GUARD!!
