Highway’s 2024 Impact in Numbers
2024 proved no exception to the relentless evolution of fraud in the freight industry. As threats grew smarter and new fraud vectors were detected / identified, Highway responded with agility and innovation, ensuring brokers remained protected from financial loss, operational disruptions, and reputational damage.
In 2024, Highway’s proactive fraud prevention efforts resulted in:
- 914,719 fraudulent inbound emails blocked, preventing critical business interruptions.
- 9,501 identity alerts reported, flagging issues such as identity theft, double brokering, theft, and unauthorized access.
- 9,829 carrier users from 75 countries stopped from gaining access to Highway.
- 109,672 FMCSA contact changes detected and monitored, safeguarding against unauthorized updates.
Imagine This:
An MC number altered in FMCSA records overnight, an email address changed to a near-perfect replica, or a carrier’s identity hijacked through unauthorized record updates. Each of these scenarios represents a daily challenge for brokers navigating today’s freight environment. Fraud isn’t slowing down, but neither are we. Every metric tells a story of a fraud attempt stopped in its tracks, a relationship preserved, and a business kept secure.
Why This Matters to You:
Every intercepted fraud attempt is more than a statistic — it’s a transaction secured, a carrier network safeguarded, and your customers’ trust upheld. Fraudsters thrive on moments of distraction, but Highway’s Carrier Identity Engine ensures they never slip through the cracks.
Looking Ahead:
As we enter 2025, Highway continues to lead the charge in fraud prevention. With expanded monitoring capabilities, deeper integrations, and a growing community of protected brokers, we’re staying ahead of evolving threats to ensure your operations remain secure and uninterrupted.
Together, let’s keep fraud at bay and focus on what truly matters: driving success in the freight industry.
