They have been reported by multiple carrier companies, for double brokering loads, jacking up the rates and failure to pay the actual delivering carrier.
Double broker scams are becoming a bigger issue in the freight world, costing both carriers and shippers a lot of money every year. In these scams, a fake broker takes a load from a shipper and then posts it again to another unsuspecting carrier using a different name. The scammer gets paid by the shipper but never pays the carrier who actually moved the freight. This leaves the carrier without payment, the shipper annoyed, and creates a mess about who’s responsible for the shipment. Double brokering often uses stolen MC numbers, fake websites, or shell companies that look legit. These scams can also ruin trust in the industry and cause delays that hurt supply chains. Carriers and shippers can protect themselves by checking broker authority, looking at credit histories, and steering clear of companies that seem shady. Staying alert is the best way to fight against double broker fraud.
