When $1 million in Guy Fieri’s tequila went missing, it brought large-scale attention to a growing threat in logistics: freight fraud.
In this episode of Banyan Technology's Tire Tracks® podcast, Michael Caney, Chief Commercial Officer at Highway, explains how today’s freight fraud schemes — from double brokering to GPS spoofing and forged rate confirmations — are made possible by digital blind spots and urgency in the system.
Caney breaks down how secure document delivery, Carrier identity validation and load-level compliance can eliminate the conditions fraudsters rely on. He also explores how AI is changing the game — both as a defense tool and as a new frontier for fraud itself.
