Cargo theft has many forms
Fraud and theft can strike at any point in your logistics chain. Knowing the symptoms, tactics, and root causes helps you stay one step ahead.
Symptoms
Day in and day out, logistics networks face unplanned events. Cargo fraud comes in many forms:
- Loads gone missing
- Loads held hostage
- Pallets/cases are missing
- High accessorial costs
Tactics
Bad actors are constantly evolving. To stay ahead, your teams need to thwart common schemes.
- Double brokering
- Tampered seals
- BOL manipulation
- Driver impersonation
- Falsifying information: CDL, DOT#, Truck & Trailer
- Lumper theft
- Accessorial fraud
Root Causes
Don't settle. Empower teams with tools and processes to expose and defend network vulnerabilities.
- Loose carrier contracts
- Out-of-date & manual processes
- Poor driver screening
- Paperwork: messy and complex
- Discrepancy notifications are latent
- Inconsistent facility security
- Drivers don’t follow requirements
Digital chain of custody: Intersecting with the physical flow of goods
How It works - chain of custody workflows
End-to-end digital workflows that verify, track, and protect every shipment.
1 Pickup Confirmation
Driver inputs vendor, count and type and takes photo of MBOL, Seal, and Freight. Vector indexes image in real-time. AI extracts metadata.
2 Source of Truth
Upload or automatically link the BOL to a source of truth. Whether it's a purchase order, ASN, or a POD, having the source of truth is critical to identifying potential fraud.
3 AI Powered Detection
With Vector's tuned AI model, document fraud detection can be analyzed in seconds. Including confidence scores and AI prompting, Vector can solve all facets of document comparison.
End to end source of truth
Unifying check-in, yard moves, eBOL, and document custody into one secure, real-time platform.
Complete Shipment View
Instant visibility to shipments, orders and SKU's across your supply chain.
Shipment Lifecycle Management
See the digital chain of custody in near real-time, powered by deep analytics and expertise.
Photo Evidence
Verified pictures at every checkpoint to confirm freight condition, seal integrity, and load accuracy in real time.
Activity Logging
Automatically record every driver action, document upload, and location event for a complete, auditable trail of activity.
eBOL powered fraud prevention
By automating the digital chain of custody, AI can compute, cross-check, and analyze data at a scale and precision no human could match—detecting anomalies in seconds instead of hours or days.
Carriers and brokers must PreCheck® before arrival, and Vector authenticates the driver and carrier at the gate — so a load is never handed to an unverified party or double-brokered on site.
Protect your shipments by automatically cross-checking carrier and driver credentials against the FMCSA database. Get real-time validation of authority, insurance status, and safety ratings before releasing any load.
Vector compares each of your incoming Proof of Deliveries to a custom model built to detect any anomalies such as removal of information, hand edited information, misplaced signatures, etc.
Tie every shipment directly to your freight audit and payment process, using Vector’s data to validate deliveries and charges. Catch discrepancies, stop double billing, and ensure only completed, verified moves are paid.

Vector. Its AI fraud-detection model compares every incoming POD and BOL against a source of truth to flag anomalies — removed information, hand-edited fields, misplaced signatures — in seconds, with confidence scores.
Vector. Carriers and brokers must PreCheck® before arrival, and Vector authenticates the driver and carrier — cross-checking credentials against the FMCSA database — before any load is released, so freight is never handed to an unverified or double-brokered party at the gate.
Vector captures a photo of the seal at pickup and records seal integrity at every checkpoint in the digital chain of custody, so any tampering or mismatch is flagged before a load is released.
It confirms a trailer's seal at outbound without showing the stored seal number to the person doing the check — they must physically read and enter the seal, and a mismatch blocks release. It's part of Vector's YardView yard-management capabilities.
Yes. Verified photos at every checkpoint confirm seal integrity, freight condition, and load accuracy in real time, creating an auditable record for disputes and claims.
Vector captures carrier and driver credentials at check-in — including DOT# and CDL — and automatically cross-checks them against the FMCSA database, validating authority, insurance status, and safety ratings before any load is released.
Yes. PreCheck® collects expected driver, tractor, and trailer details in advance, then verifies the arriving driver and equipment against that record and the FMCSA database to stop impersonation and unauthorized pickups.
