Vetting carriers may not be 'as easy as pie'...but it doesn't have to be rocket science! Get @GenLogs

Capacity searches in @GenLogs nearly doubled last week compared to the next highest week over the last 180 days. Searches were already up in late April to mid May as capacity continued to exit the market.
Load boards aren't cutting it. Expect $5+ rates soon.

A freight broker booked a load with 'Scottway Logistics.' Refrigerated load from Idaho, going to Florida. Carrier passed vetting platform. MacroPoint tracking was used.
The truck 'shows up' at the shipper, asks for a $2,000 fuel advance. The broker sends the money upon confirmation that the truck has been loaded.
Shipper calls, "When will the truck be here?!"
Broker: Confused. Angry.
The broker asks the driver for an image of the bill of lading. The driver sends a generic picture of a BOL.
The driver and dispatch go ghost mode.
But hey, they made $2,000.

With a few more minutes of vetting and a bit of human discernment, this did NOT have to happen.
Using @SearchCarriers & @GenLogs, I can tell you this trucking company was not suitable for a load from Idaho to Florida.
1. SearchCarriers: Contact changes recently. No inspections. Virtually no activity for this carrier.
2. GenLogs: No carrier sightings in Idaho or Florida, ever. Looking at the images, this carrier only runs box trucks...

Debating putting out a few indices based on observed activity across the USA. Here are a few examples (WoW % changes).
It's cool to see how Labor Day caused a dip across all three indices. Also interesting that SAIA is lagging recently in LTL.
Should I publish more? Comment!

🥳 @GenLogs 𝗧𝗼𝗽 𝟭𝟬𝟬 𝗢𝗯𝘀𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗲𝗱 𝗖𝗮𝗿𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗿𝘀 🥳 The Q2 2025 list is here! The Top 100 carriers observed 𝗺𝗼𝘀𝘁 on GenLogs' nationwide sensor network. 𝘚𝘰𝘮𝘦 𝘰𝘣𝘴𝘦𝘳𝘷𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘴:
✅ The Top 10 carriers largely remained the same, but XPO edged up to #9 and bumped Schneider to #11.
✅ Some of the Q1 and Q2 spots were identical -- like Tyson Foods at #21, Melton Truck Lines at #33, Hobby Lobby at #70, and Landstar Inway at #86 on both lists. This is good to see, as it means GenLogs is able to capture relatively consistent data -- so big changes really stand out...
✅ There were some BIG jumps up on the list, like H-E-B going from #92 to #68 and Estes Express Lines going from #62 to #43. Way to go!!
✅ Amazon Logistics made the list (#87) after just missing it last time.
✅ The rankings of the long-tail of the chart remain extremely tight! Clean Harbors (#67) and H-E-B (#68) were separated by just ONE observation!
✅ The number of claimed power units with FMCSA doesn't always correspond to higher/lower observations. Tri-National, Inc. punches way above its weight at #34 despite having only 804 power units, according to the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration.

🚨 Freight fraud in 2025 = $35B industry.
With summer holidays driving risk, July 1-3 are the highest theft days of the year (per @Verisk).
We asked @GenLogs, @Verisk, & Highway about the top 7 fraud tactics + how shippers can prevent them.

Today, more than 150,000 wreaths were laid at Arlington National Cemetery to honor our nation's fallen and were delivered by an 'Honor Fleet' of more than 60 trucks. Three generations of my family helped lay the wreaths. Shoutouts to some MCs that I observed today (tag those that I missed!):
