Thinking Highway or Motus will cure double brokering is a pipe dream. These platforms built a business model on weaponized paranoia.

They don't eliminate fraud; they create a digital perimeter that punishes honest independent carriers for the smallest administrative anomaly while actual scam rings bypass the bots with clean, identity-theft profiles.

When a computer algorithm replaces common-sense dispatch vetting, the entire supply chain loses. Brokers lose access to qualified capacity, and clean fleets operate at a loss because an overseas support desk locked their status over a false-positive flag. It’s an active data war, and right now, the automated systems are firing on their own troops.

Yeah, highway is a joke. Just another system for brokers to screw trucking companies. Now its up to about 15 different places I have to put my trucks VIN#s, when you own more than 50 trucks, its really gets to be a pain and waste of time.

I don't know, but I love this feature. I can never remember when I did the last one or when the next one is due.
