Cargo theft is rising, but most logistics companies aren’t doing enough to stop it. At RCS Freight, we go beyond standard vetting with advanced carrier scoring and strict accountability to keep your freight safe.

Stop Cargo Theft Before It Starts: How RCS Freight Protects Your Freight

Cargo theft and fraud are on the rise — costing companies billions every year. The reality is, most logistics providers aren’t doing enough to stop it.

At RCS Freight, protecting your freight is more than a checkbox. We go beyond the industry norm with a multi-layered vetting process that’s built to detect fraud, filter out unsafe carriers, and hold our entire network accountable.

How We Protect Your Freight from Fraud & Theft

Carrier Vetting Partnerships
We work with industry-leading technology platforms that flag fraudulent carriers, compromised accounts, and suspicious activity before a load ever moves.

Proprietary Carrier Scoring System
Our internal algorithm scores every carrier based on FMCSA/CSA ratings, DOT inspection trends, safety history, authority age, and more. If a carrier doesn’t meet our standards, they don’t haul your freight — period.

Asset-Based Standards
Because we’re also asset-based, we hold our own drivers to the same standards as our partner network. That means greater accountability, stronger performance, and consistent protection across the board.

Why This Matters

Many of today’s cargo theft cases come from compromised accounts or “ghost carriers” using stolen credentials. Low-scoring carriers present a higher risk of fraud, accidents, and stolen freight — and relying on a provider that doesn’t dig deep into vetting puts both your shipment and your reputation on the line.

Would you trust a pilot who’s never flown a plane? Logistics should be no different. Experience, safety, and control matter.
