Fraud poses a significant challenge, with an estimated $800 million impact on the trucking industry.
Malicious actors engaging in illegal activities, registering as carriers with FMCSA, and causing problems ranging from fraud and theft to holding freight hostage, all without facing legal consequences.
“Unfortunately FMCSA is failing to enforce the law investigating tens of thousands of fraud complaints lodged with it,” Tucker continued. “We see similar cases of fraud with dispatch services, which are often based abroad, operating here in our country, who, mind you, are not required by FMCSA to obtain a license or registration, like my company has, doing essentially the same work. We need FMCSA to step up.”
