The Problem

Cargo theft and freight fraud have become one of the fastest-growing threats in supply chains today.

  • Cargo theft losses surged to $725 million in 2025. That’s a 60% increase since 2024.
  • The value of stolen cargo has exceeded $1 billion annually, with theft incidents reaching historic highs.
  • The average value of a single cargo theft now exceeds $273,000 per shipment. The most targeted cargo includes high-value items like electronics and food/beverage.
  • Criminals increasingly use identity theft, fraudulent carriers and fictitious pickups to steal freight without breaking locks or entering facilities.

Today’s cargo theft is organized, strategic and often involves criminals impersonating legitimate carriers. Without proper identity verification, your freight could be picked up by the wrong driver.

Using advanced AI-powered verification technology, we confirm that the person picking up your shipment is the authorized, legitimate driver assigned to your load. This eliminates one of the most common methods criminals use to steal freight: impersonating carriers or drivers.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is driver identity verification?

Driver identity verification confirms that the person picking up your shipment is the authorized driver assigned to your load.

Why is driver verification important?

Many cargo theft incidents involve criminals impersonating legitimate carriers. Verification prevents unauthorized pickups.

What data is collected to verify driver identity?

The Secure Driver Network analyzes multiple real-time data signals to confirm that the assigned driver is legitimate. This includes validating email, phone number, and IP address; confirming CDL details, issuing state, expiration, and domicile status; performing biometric checks such as photo ID matching, facial recognition, and liveness detection; screening device type, GPS location, and VPN usage; and cross-checking vehicle and carrier credentials including cab card, VIN, and DOT/MC authority.

Is this used on ALL shipments?

Yes. Our verification program is integrated into our carrier security procedures with our Secure Driver Network.

Will this slow down my shipments?

No. The verification process is fast and integrated into normal dispatch and pickup workflows.

Does this replace your existing carrier vetting process?

No. This strengthens and enhances our already strict carrier onboarding and compliance procedures.

What happens if fraud of any sort is detected?

The pickup is immediately stopped and the shipment is secured. TOP Worldwide investigates the situation, verifies the authorized carrier and driver, and ensures your freight is only released once identity is fully confirmed.
