Most of it no longer involves breaking into a trailer. It involves a legitimate-looking MC number, a new phone line and a rerouted payment.
Figures based on published industry reporting.
How it works
Three seconds between tender and verdict.

Cross-reference
FMCSA authority and insurance history, ownership changes, address reuse, domain age, phone and email reputation.

Signals
What actually gives them away.
SIG-01
Authority freshly reinstated
Dormant MC numbers revived and resold are a standard entry point.
SIG-02
Contact details changed days ago
Phone, email or dispatch address updated right before bidding on loads.
SIG-03
Banking rerouted mid-relationship
Payment details changed on a carrier you've used for years.
SIG-04
Shared infrastructure
One phone number, IP or address appearing behind multiple unrelated authorities.
SIG-05
Document inconsistencies
Certificates, W-9s and insurance filings that don't reconcile with the filed record.
SIG-06
Behavioral mismatch
Bidding patterns, lane preferences and equipment claims that don't fit the carrier's history.
Network
One broker's near-miss is everyone's warning.
Confirmed fraud attempts propagate across the Ironlane network within minutes, protecting every connected brokerage from the same actor.
Detection improves as more brokerages connect. No customer's commercial data — rates, shippers or volumes — is ever shared. Only fraud signals move across the network.
