SUMMARY:Freight Fraud Prevention Hub Quarterly Webinar Series 
DESCRIPTION:Freight fraud is often discussed in pieces—cargo theft here\, identity misuse there\, rising insurance costs somewhere else. But in reality\, these issues are fundamentally linked. When freight fraud increases\, insurance exposure rises\, reputations suffer\, and trust across the freight ecosystem erodes.  \n\n\n\nIn this opening webinar of the Freight Fraud Prevention Hub Quarterly Series\, National Motor Freight Traffic Association\, Inc.® (NMFTA)™ staff and a founding partner\, Truckstop\, will explore freight fraud at a macro level\, explaining why fragmented\, siloed approaches fall short—and why a coordinated\, industry-wide response is essential. \n\n\n\nThis session will highlight NMFTA’s unique role as the only organization bringing together multiple domains of expertise to address freight fraud holistically.  \n\n\n\n\nRegister\n\n\n\n\nDescription\n\n\n\nThis complimentary session provides a practical\, real-world look at how identity misuse\, impersonation\, and information gaps enable cargo theft and fraudulent pickups—often before anyone realizes a load is at risk. \n\n\n\nWhat you’ll learn: \n\n\n\n\nWhy freight fraud cannot be solved by any single company or control. \n\n\n\nHow siloed approaches to fraud\, insurance\, and reputation management create blind spots. \n\n\n\nThe interconnected relationship between freight fraud\, risk exposure\, and brand trust. \n\n\n\nHow a de-siloed\, industry-focused model improves early detection and prevention. \n\n\n\nWhat practical steps organizations can take to better align internal teams and partners. \n\n\n\n\nWho should attend: \n\n\n\n\nFleet owners and carrier leadership; \n\n\n\nBrokers\, 3PLs\, and shipper operations teams; \n\n\n\nSecurity\, fraud prevention\, and risk management professionals; \n\n\n\nDirectors of operations\, IT\, and compliance; and \n\n\n\nPlatform and marketplace trust & safety leaders. \n\n\n\n\nWhy attend: \n\n\n\nIf freight fraud impacts your operations\, insurance exposure\, or reputation—and it does—this webinar will help you see the full picture. You’ll gain a clearer understanding of how fraud risk connects across the industry and why collective action\, shared standards\, and coordinated prevention efforts are critical to making freight fraud harder and less profitable.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMeet Your Speakers\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJoe Ohr has more than two decades of experience in technical operations\, customer success management\, IT\, customer support\, and product support.  \n\n\n\nCurrently serving as the Chief Operating Officer for the NMFTA\, he plays a pivotal role in helping to advance the industry through digitization\, classification\, and cybersecurity.      \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nShawn Rasmor is the Principal Product Manager at Truckstop\, where he shapes the vision and strategy for RMIS and compliance solutions across the Truckstop ecosystem. \n\n\n\nShawn has been with Truckstop for more than nine years\, contributing in key roles across integration product management and product strategy.
