Freight fraud is one of the biggest threats facing independent brokers today, and many agents are left without a playbook for how to respond. In this episode of Everything is Logistics, Blythe talks with Mark Funk and Shiv Narayan of SPI Logistics about building an action plan to protect agents, their customers, and their carriers. From red flags to response strategies, this conversation lays out the steps every agent should know.

• The most common fraud tactics used against brokers and carriers. 
• How SPI equips agents with tools and processes to fight back.
