If there's one theme that keeps coming up in conversations about freight risk, it's visibility.
My colleague Rodney Cromwell, Vice President - Commercial, Enterprise Sales, spends a lot of time talking with shippers and brokers about the risks that chameleon carriers bring.
I recently read his article where he describes a chameleon carrier as one that shuts down after safety violations, compliance issues or fraud concerns, then reopens under a new name. On paper, they look brand-new and reliable. In reality, they may be the same operation with the same risks.
How are you spotting the carriers that don't add up?
