Combating Fraud In The Freight Industry
In April 2024, we asked members of our Indago supply chain research community — who are all supply chain and logistics executives from manufacturing, retail, and distribution companies — if they had experienced cargo theft or other types of freight fraud in the past year. Almost half said they had experienced theft or fraud, and almost a quarter of them characterized their processes or efforts to prevent freight fraud as either “Poor” or “Very Poor.” Not surprisingly, at the Descartes Innovation Forum in October 2024, the session on freight fraud was standing room only. Simply put, this is a problem that all stakeholders in the industry must focus on. So, how big of a problem is freight fraud? Is it getting worse today? What can shippers expect in 2025? And how can technology help? These are the questions I asked Dan Cicerchi, VP and General Manager, Transportation Management at Descartes on a recent episode of Talking Logistics.
