Freight Fraud Symposium

Freight fraud has exploded in the post-COVID era as bad actors have multiplied and developed new ways to forge their identities, falsify documents and misdirect payments. At the same time, freight brokers are being held to ever-higher standards of accountability in the court of law. The situation has reached a crisis, and it’s time for the industry to come together to address this critical problem and share best practices on how to mitigate it. Join us in Dallas, Texas at the 2616 Commerce Event Center this May for the Freight Fraud Symposium, an intimate event geared toward transportation executives and technology buyers.
