In this article Devin talks about the most common types of scams leveraged against truckersand their businesses these days. I can attest that these are accurate as I deal with them daily at my job.

Here's the list:
DOT Impersonation
Phishing
Factoring Scams
Double Brokering
Repair Shop Impersonation

Also, there is another scam that seems to be getting worse and that’s unauthorized use of driver’s credit and debit cards. I’ve had a couple drivers tell me their cards have been compromised. My advice is when you’re not using your card have it turned off or restricted so it can’t be used in a nefarious manner by others. Just remember to turn it back on when you go to use it again.

Stay vigilant and alert everyone. Times are too tough to be falling prey to clowns that have nothing better to do than to prey on hard working individuals and their business. Be safe💯✌🏾
