💥 $2,000 Fuel Advance Lost — Here’s What Actually Happened | Episode 324

We break down a real Idaho-to-Florida scam where clean onboarding, fake documents, and convincing GPS pings led to a $2,000 fuel advance disappearing without a pickup. With tender rejections climbing past 10%, tighter capacity is nudging rates up—and making organized fraud more profitable—so we walk through the policy signals, tracking pitfalls, and vetting gaps brokers need to understand. The takeaway is practical and direct: use layered verification, question mismatched equipment and lanes, rely on real human checks when it matters, and fix your process so the lie gets caught before the dock.
