🚨𝗡𝗲𝘄𝘀 𝗳𝗹𝗮𝘀𝗵: Carrier vetting can be pro-carrier

@BigPotato26 @maybedanielleee I heard they have legions of elves armed with disposable cameras

@maybedanielleee @GenLogs Where does gen logs get these pictures?

Alexandria, Louisiana - Friday morning, a truck driver fell asleep, ran off the road, and into a bridge, damaging the support beam. Trucking Company: WINGET TRUCKING LLC > Based in ROWLETT, TX All driver out-of-service violations in 2025 are related to Hours of Service and ELDs.

Sold MC. Spoofed GPS. This story has it all! Thanks to @maybedanielleee for flagging it... genlogs.substack.com/p/sold-mc-spoo…

A freight broker booked a load with 'Scottway Logistics.' Refrigerated load from Idaho, going to Florida. Carrier passed vetting platform. MacroPoint tracking was used. The truck 'shows up' at the shipper, asks for a $2,000 fuel advance. The broker sends the money upon confirmation that the truck has been loaded. Shipper calls, "When will the truck be here?!" Broker: Confused. Angry. The broker asks the driver for an image of the bill of lading. The driver sends a generic picture of a BOL. The driver and dispatch go ghost mode. But hey, they made $2,000. --- With a few more minutes of vetting and a bit of human discernment, this did NOT have to happen. Using @SearchCarriers & @GenLogs, I can tell you this trucking company was not suitable for a load from Idaho to Florida. 1. SearchCarriers: Contact changes recently. No inspections. Virtually no activity for this carrier. 2. GenLogs: No carrier sightings in Idaho or Florida, ever. Looking at the images, this carrier only runs box trucks... *Original Facebook post below.

Post-Thanksgiving USDOT observations are down in both the daily and rolling 7-day charts. Capacity is leaving the market.

@maybedanielleee Sneaky sneaky...they even tried putting a new cab number on the truck. Still got 'em!

Original post from LinkedIn. "Recently, a broker tendered a load to what appeared to be a perfectly legitimate carrier. Clean MC. Active authority. No obvious red flags. They had even been “cleared” by another vetting platform. Hours after pickup, the freight vanished. The broker — not our client, and the carrier wasn’t either — reached out to Verified Carrier asking if we could take a look. Within minutes, the problems were obvious: - The driver was using a fabricated driver’s license - The license number belonged to a female born in 1939 - The signature on the BOL didn’t match the ID - The phone number painted on the truck was not tied to the company - After we tracked down the original owner of the truck, they claimed the truck hadn’t moved in weeks… yet ELD data showed 522 miles driven during that exact window With the help of our partner @GenLogs , we traced the same truck operating under multiple company names — and even found photographic evidence confirming it was the exact vehicle involved in the theft. All of this was caught immediately inside Verified Carrier — the type of behavioral and operational shifts our system flags in real time. This case is a reminder: checking authority isn’t vetting. Looking “clean” isn’t safety. And relying on outdated platforms is exactly how freight disappears. Verified Carrier is the real carrier-compliance platform. We don’t miss what others overlook."

Freight was stolen by a man using this CDL. It is a fake. The license number belongs to a woman born in 1939. Where I come from, we used fake IDs to get into the local bar... Not to cause chaos in the supply chain. *Original post by Verified Carrier on LinkedIn.

@dearden_brian @MichaelAleo @MDSP Mostly privacy. We will leave it to others to play Big Brother.

@GenLogs @MichaelAleo @MDSP Filter why?

❗PLEASE SHARE❗ DO YOU KNOW THIS DRIVER? In conjunction with the FBI, MSP is offering a total reward of $60,000 for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the individuals responsible for both Delonte Hicks and Charles Marks. CALL POLICE AT 202-953-1903.

@MichaelAleo @MDSP Unfortunately not. We filter out all private vehicles in our data -- we only collect on trucks! Hope they get him!

@MDSP @GenLogs could probably find that car today.

Debating putting out a few indices based on observed activity across the USA. Here are a few examples (WoW % changes). It's cool to see how Labor Day caused a dip across all three indices. Also interesting that SAIA is lagging recently in LTL. Should I publish more? Comment!

@kingkoinz @Andersonj2273 We can. How can we help?

@Andersonj2273 @GenLogs 😳😳😳they able find stolen trucks and trailers out on road

@Andersonj2273 do you know the company that helps find stolen trucks and trailers Otr?

Good carriers > Bad carriers

The experts all agree: 𝗚𝗲𝗻𝗟𝗼𝗴𝘀 𝗶𝘀 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗴𝗮𝗺𝗲.

Holy crap, is this real?!

@CBPSouthTexas @DFOLaredo @CBP @HSI_SanAntonio Great work! @GenLogs is happy to help in the investigation. Meth smuggling has no place in trucking -- we can go back in time to see where that truck previously visited in the United States. DMs are open...

Two for two: for the 2nd time in four days, @DFOLaredo @CBP officers at #Pharr International Bridge seized a gargantuan load of meth. This latest find, valued at $15.6M was found in a tractor trailer hauling carrots. @HSI_SanAntonio is investigating. More: go.dhs.gov/wta

🥳 @GenLogs 𝗧𝗼𝗽 𝟭𝟬𝟬 𝗢𝗯𝘀𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗲𝗱 𝗖𝗮𝗿𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗿𝘀 🥳 The Q2 2025 list is here! The Top 100 carriers observed 𝗺𝗼𝘀𝘁 on GenLogs' nationwide sensor network. 𝘚𝘰𝘮𝘦 𝘰𝘣𝘴𝘦𝘳𝘷𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘴: ✅ The Top 10 carriers largely remained the same, but XPO edged up to #9 and bumped Schneider to #11. ✅ Some of the Q1 and Q2 spots were identical -- like Tyson Foods at #21, Melton Truck Lines at #33, Hobby Lobby at #70, and Landstar Inway at #86 on both lists. This is good to see, as it means GenLogs is able to capture relatively consistent data -- so big changes really stand out... ✅ There were some BIG jumps up on the list, like H-E-B going from #92 to #68 and Estes Express Lines going from #62 to #43. Way to go!! ✅ Amazon Logistics made the list (#87) after just missing it last time. ✅ The rankings of the long-tail of the chart remain extremely tight! Clean Harbors (#67) and H-E-B (#68) were separated by just ONE observation! ✅ The number of claimed power units with FMCSA doesn't always correspond to higher/lower observations. Tri-National, Inc. punches way above its weight at #34 despite having only 804 power units, according to the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration.

🚨 Freight fraud in 2025 = $35B industry. With summer holidays driving risk, July 1-3 are the highest theft days of the year (per @Verisk). We asked @GenLogs, @Verisk, & Highway about the top 7 fraud tactics + how shippers can prevent them. Read more: na2.hubs.ly/y0ptVB0
