SEAFORD, Del. — Trinity Logistics is introducing a new free load verification tool aimed at helping carriers safeguard themselves from rising scam and fake load activity across the freight industry.
“Trinity created the load verification tool as a direct response to the rise in fraud targeting carriers,” said Kristin Deno, operational risk analyst at Trinity. “Scammers have unfortunately impersonated trusted brokers, like Trinity, in an effort to trick carriers into taking fake loads. This tool gives our carrier relationships a simple and secure way to confirm a shipment is legitimate – before they ever roll a truck.”
Fraud Rising Rapidly in the Freight Industry
With freight fraud and impersonator scams becoming more sophisticated and widespread, Trinity’s tool offers carriers a fast, reliable way to verify that the load they’ve booked is legitimate and actually arranged by Trinity Logistics, according to a company press release.

The launch is part of Trinity’s broader commitment to safety, security and service across its across its nationwide carrier network, according to the release.
“Our carrier relationships are at the core of what we do, and this is one more way we stand behind them – protecting their time, their equipment and their trust in us,” Deno said.
