Back to EpisodesThe Long Haul | The Freight Fraud Epidemic – Danielle Spinelli on Cargo Theft, Compliance, and the Truth Behind the Scams
Description
Cargo theft is no longer a random crime — it’s organized, digital, and spreading faster than the industry wants to admit.
In this episode of The Long Haul, Adam sits down with Danielle Spinelli, better known as The Fraud Girl — a veteran broker turned fraud-fighting expert and host of Tell Me Everything. Now with Descartes | MyCarrierPortal, Danielle works on the front lines of vetting carriers, uncovering scams, and helping brokers and shippers stay one step ahead of organized theft rings.
Fresh off a ride-along with the California Highway Patrol’s Cargo Theft Task Force, Danielle gives a behind-the-scenes look at what’s really happening on rail lines, at docks, and in digital load boards — and how small carriers are being targeted, framed, or used without even realizing it.
This one’s not theory — it’s field intel.
