With fraud on the rise in our industry, shipping vehicles safely has never been more important. While technology and platforms continue to evolve to offer better protection, shippers must also take proactive steps to safeguard their operations and ensure a smooth experience. Secure Your Account Sharing your sign-in details with others, even people who work for you, can expose you to fraud and unauthorized access. So, we highly recommend setting up your account to give contractors, employees or people outside your organization their own login credentials. This will minimize the risks of identity theft when sharing your own account credentials. Also, set guardrails on what business information they can view, helping you avoid potential account security risks. Use systems that allow for individual user accounts with customizable permissions. Enabling multi-factor authentication (MFA), especially using a mobile phone number, adds an extra layer of protection. It’s also wise to regularly review account activity to detect any unusual behavior early and to thoroughly vet any third-party contractors before granting them access to your systems. Be sure to be cautious about who you add as a user and always vet any third-party companies or contractors before giving them an account. Verify Your Carrier Before Dispatching Many cases of fraud can be avoided with a few important security checks before dispatching.
