NMFTA - National Motor Freight Traffic Association

Freight Fraud Prevention Hub Quarterly Webinar Series
2026-03-19 13:00 - 14:00 (America/New_York)
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.

In 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.

This session will highlight NMFTA’s unique role as the only organization bringing together multiple domains of expertise to address freight fraud holistically.

Description

This 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.

What you’ll learn:

Why freight fraud cannot be solved by any single company or control.

How siloed approaches to fraud, insurance, and reputation management create blind spots.

The interconnected relationship between freight fraud, risk exposure, and brand trust.

How a de-siloed, industry-focused model improves early detection and prevention.

What practical steps organizations can take to better align internal teams and partners.

Who should attend:

Fleet owners and carrier leadership;

Brokers, 3PLs, and shipper operations teams;

Security, fraud prevention, and risk management professionals;

Directors of operations, IT, and compliance; and

Platform and marketplace trust & safety leaders.

Why attend:

If 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.

About the Freight Fraud Prevention Hub Quarterly Webinar Series

The Freight Fraud Prevention Hub (FFPH) Quarterly Webinar Series brings together trusted industry leaders to address freight fraud as the systemic, industry-wide issue it has become. Unlike siloed discussions that focus on individual incidents or isolated controls, this series takes a collective approach, connecting identity, operations, cybersecurity, classification, and digital standards, and expert knowledge from industry SMEs to help the industry understand how freight fraud really works and how it can be prevented.

Each session is education-first, practical, and designed to help the transportation ecosystem move from fragmented defenses to shared awareness and coordinated action.

This is not a product demo series. It’s an education-first forum designed to help the industry recognize fraud earlier, close operational gaps, and make freight fraud harder to execute—together.
