Issue #20 is live. And it is the first one published under CargoGuard's banner.
Six trucking companies filed a federal RICO lawsuit against C.H. Robinson and TQL this week. The complaint accuses both brokers of systematically funneling freight to chameleon carriers for financial gain — carriers that shut down a poor-safety entity and reopen under a new DOT number for a clean slate.
Super Ego Trucking is named as one of the illegal carrier networks at the center of it. C.H. Robinson named Super Ego its carrier of the year less than a year ago.
The same week, the FBI's Memphis Cargo Theft Task Force published something every broker needs to read. Cargo theft no longer starts when criminals reach the freight. Cyber threat actors compromise broker and carrier systems first — through spoofed emails, fake URLs, and compromised accounts — then identify high-value loads, then show up for pickup.
In 2025, cargo theft losses reached $725 million. A 60% increase from 2024. Average loss per incident up 36% to $273,990.
The theft begins before the truck arrives. The accountability begins before the carrier is selected.
