Freight Wars: Inside the Hidden Fight for America’s Supply Chain Integrity

Presented by: Highway Veritas Third-generation trucking professional Danielle Chaffin presents an investigative look at systemic fraud in U.S. trucking. Her work exposes shell-company address clusters, data manipulation that defeats standard vetting, and chameleon carriers cycling USDOT numbers to evade violations, crashes, and enforcement. She connects these practices to the post-2018 surge in carrier registrations, rising cargo theft, legacy carrier failures, lax enforcement of English Language Proficiency rules, questionable non-domiciled CDL practices, and persistent regulatory gaps — arguing that poor data quality is the core weakness that enables fraud, safety risks, and market distortion.
