This week’s issue covers two signals brokers need to see before Q4 hits.

A fraudster impersonated a freight broker by phone and text, redirected a driver mid-route, and nearly walked away with $273,000 in frozen seafood. No system access. No hacking. One call.

At the same time, Q2 2026 cargo theft losses hit $304.6 million — more than double Q2 2025 — even as incident counts fell 26%. Criminals are being more selective. Losses per hit are climbing.

The holiday window opens in six weeks.
