Solution · Fraud · Theft · Safety
Fraud, theft, and unsafe drivers have become an epidemic. The pattern is the same every time: a fraudulent broker, driver, or carrier with forged documents accepts a load tender. They gain access to a warehouse to pick up. Bad things happen. Fraud is changing the transportation industry. It’s causing spiraling insurance rates, and in some cases even removing insurance from the market. This causes unfavorable ripples across the entire industry. Renaissant stops fraud before bad actors get access to cargo.
The industry problem
Cargo theft losses hit $725 million in 2025, a 60% jump in one year (Verisk CargoNet), with strategic fraud from double-brokering, identity spoofing, and chameleon and ghost carriers driving the surge.
Public-safety pressure is mounting alongside it. 5,375 large trucks were involved in fatal crashes in FMCSA’s most recent full-year report. The USDOT has moved to remove 194,000 non-domiciled CDL holders from the freight market. And the Supreme Court’s unanimous ruling in Montgomery v. Caribe now extends negligent-hiring liability to brokers for the drivers behind the wheel. That responsibility is unlikely to stop with carriers and brokers. It will soon also be the responsibility of the shipper.
Until now, the industry has had two basic answers. One: analyze the carrier, which ignores the driver. Two: throw more people at the problem, which is slow, expensive, and still doesn’t validate the actual driver.
Renaissant’s Big Oil customer faced all of this. After deploying Renaissant Validate and Access, fraud attempts fell 96%, theft stopped completely, labor dropped 50%, and the rollout took under two weeks.
Four products, one integrated outcome: bad actors are barred from entry. Each product restricts a different threat angle. In combination, they make fraud, theft, and unsafe loadings virtually impossible.
Once the truck exits, recovery is difficult, dangerous, and expensive. Stop the fraud before it starts.
