FROM THE ARTICLE: FreightWaves is proud to announce the winners of the 2026 Fraud Fighters Awards, recognizing the organizations delivering the most innovative, effective, and impactful solutions to combat the escalating threat of freight fraud. This year's honorees were selected in two categories—Logistics Operations and Solution Providers—for their demonstrated results in preventing identity theft, double brokering, cargo theft, fictitious pickups, and other sophisticated schemes that continue to plague the supply chain.

ITS Logistics, an Echo Company, was honored for its Fraud Prevention and Recovery Playbook, a layered "People + Process + Technology" strategy that delivers exceptional protection without sacrificing speed. Every load benefits from multiple human touchpoints, expert new- and dormant-carrier vetting that routinely catches AI-generated or manipulated documents, and deep integration of platforms such as GenLogs, Highway, Carrier411, and RMIS into its proprietary TMS (ITS Drive). Rigorous SOPs and a detailed recovery playbook cover every scenario from diversion to active theft. Results speak volumes: 99% of carriers connected via Highway ELD, 99.2% load tracking coverage, an ultra-low 0.004% critical incident rate (counting even temporary hostage situations), and 80% of freight moving on a core group of carriers with average tenure exceeding five years. As an early beta partner with GenLogs, ITS actively contributes to broader industry tools while sharing best practices at conferences.
