If you think your freight operation is exposed to organized theft or unknowingly carrying liability that could wipe out your business, you must listen to this episode with Michael Caney from HIGHWAY!

Michael explains why freight theft has escalated into a national security issue, with organized, often foreign-led crime rings targeting U.S. supply chains, and why freight brokers are increasingly left holding the bag when loads go missing.

We dig into how shipper contracts shift liability unfairly onto brokers, how undisclosed cargo values and fraudulent or "ghost" carriers magnify risk, why insurance agencies and factoring companies often enable the problem with little accountability, how post-2020 market behavior and "book it fast" culture have fueled freight fraud, and why extreme ownership, operational discipline, and transparent broker-shipper communication are no longer optional!
