ITS Logistics Named 2026 Fraud Fighter Award Winner
-- FreightWaves recognizes top five logistics operators for innovation in freight fraud prevention and supply chain security --
RENO, Nev., May 28, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ITS Logistics, an Echo Global Logistics company, has been named a winner of FreightWaves’ 2026 Fraud Fighter Awards. The award recognizes the industry's top logistics operators and solution providers delivering innovative and impactful fraud mitigation solutions against modern cargo fraud and sophisticated supply chain threats.
“It’s an honor to be recognized for the work we’re doing to protect our shippers,” said Brian Jacobsen, Senior Manager of Capacity and Network Optimization. “This award shines a light on what the gold standard of fraud prevention looks like today — and, in the face of record-setting fraud rates, will hopefully raise the bar across the industry.”
The award-winning program is built on ITS’s integrated People + Process + Technology approach, combining frontline human expertise and cutting-edge technology through comprehensive operational frameworks that identify and mitigate risk at scale.
Every ITS load has multiple human touchpoints throughout the freight lifecycle, with team members performing tailored check calls and manually validating paperwork to catch AI-manipulated documents and images. ITS leverages an extensive technology stack — including GenLogs, Highway, Carrier411, and RMIS — that is fully integrated with ITS Drive, the company's proprietary TMS, to synthesize carrier data and automate compliance. ITS works closely with GenLogs, also a 2026 Fraud Fighter Award winner, to test and improve new features that address emerging threats like underground sales of motor carrier (MC) authorities.
Underpinning both is a collection of frameworks that govern all freight and carrier operations, tailored to commodity type and industry risks. The most critical proprietary process is new and dormant carrier vetting: a rigorous protocol applied to any carrier authority that is joining the ITS network or has been inactive for more than 30 days.
As a result, ITS Logistics maintains an industry-leading critical incident rate of 0.004% — even as the volume of fraudulent activity reaches record highs.
“No matter how challenging the market gets in the coming months, we’ll continue to maintain the high standards that have made ITS an industry leader in freight security,” said Josh Allen, Chief Commercial Officer at ITS Logistics. “And we are actively developing new, bleeding-edge carrier vetting strategies that will further protect customers’ brands and service experience in today’s fast-changing regulatory landscape.”
