The freight industry runs on trust.
Every day, brokers trust carriers to move valuable freight safely and securely across North America. Carriers trust brokers to provide legitimate opportunities. Shippers trust that their products will arrive where they’re supposed to.
But as freight fraud continues to rise, that trust is being tested.
Today, legitimate carriers face a growing challenge: proving they are who they say they are.
That’s why Titan GPS is proud to be an approved Highway integration partner, helping carriers verify their identity faster, protect their business, and unlock more opportunities with brokers.
Freight Fraud Is Becoming More Sophisticated
Freight theft is no longer limited to stolen trailers or cargo disappearing from truck stops.
Modern fraud schemes often begin long before a truck arrives at a pickup location.
According to the FBI, cybercriminals are increasingly targeting transportation and logistics companies through phishing attacks, spoofed websites, compromised accounts, and fraudulent load postings. Criminals impersonate legitimate carriers and brokers to gain access to valuable shipments, redirect freight, and steal cargo for resale.
The impact is significant.
Verisk CargoNet reported nearly $725 million in cargo theft losses across the United States and Canada in 2025, representing a 60% increase compared to the previous year. Confirmed cargo theft incidents rose 18%, while the average theft value climbed to nearly $274,000 per event.
For legitimate carriers, these crimes create more than financial losses—they create barriers to doing business.
Why Carrier Identity Matters More Than Ever
As fraud increases, brokers are becoming more cautious about who they work with.
One of the fastest-growing threats facing the industry is carrier identity theft. Fraudsters obtain legitimate carrier information, impersonate that carrier, secure loads, and disappear with the freight. Often, the legitimate carrier doesn’t discover the fraud until after the shipment is gone.
This has forced brokers to invest more heavily in carrier verification and fraud prevention tools before awarding loads.
The challenge for carriers is clear:
How do you quickly prove that your company is legitimate without getting buried in paperwork and lengthy onboarding processes?
Enter Highway
Highway was built to solve this exact problem.
Founded as a carrier identity and fraud prevention platform, Highway helps brokers verify carriers before assigning freight while helping legitimate carriers establish trust faster.
Today, Highway maintains:
- More than 415,000 carrier profiles
- Visibility into approximately 90% of trucks operating in the United States
- Carrier onboarding that can take less than 30 seconds in many cases
By creating a verified identity layer between brokers and carriers, Highway helps reduce the risks associated with:
- Carrier identity theft
- Double brokering
- Fraudulent dispatch services
- Email phishing attacks
- VoIP spoofing
- Unauthorized account access
For brokers, that means greater confidence.
For carriers, it means faster access to opportunities.
How Titan GPS Fits Into the Picture
Titan GPS and Highway share a common goal: helping legitimate carriers operate more efficiently while building trust throughout the freight ecosystem.
Through the integration, carriers can securely share vehicle information required for broker verification, helping streamline onboarding and reduce administrative friction.
The process is simple:
- Titan GPS provides the carrier’s GPS and ELD data to Highway to prove their operational legitimacy
- Highway reviews the data and adds them to their list of verified carriers
- Brokers check the database and confidently issue the carrier new loads
The result is a faster path from verification to freight.
