Dispatched From Moldova: Inside the U.S. Freight Fraud Connection

Freight fraud, overseas dispatching, double brokering, and organized crime have become some of the biggest issues facing American trucking. One country keeps appearing in that conversation: Moldova. In Dispatched From Moldova, FreightCaviar travels to Chișinău to see what is actually happening inside the country's growing connection to the U.S. freight industry. Carrier411 says it is tracking roughly 600 MC numbers with ties to Moldova and alleged freight fraud and organized crime. At the same time, thousands of Moldovans work legitimately in U.S. logistics, dispatching trucks, operating brokerages, and supporting American carriers every day. The documentary goes inside Moldovan dispatch offices and speaks directly with the people working there, while examining freight theft, double brokering, hostage loads, identity theft, chameleon carriers, carrier vetting, outsourcing, and the international networks behind modern freight fraud. The result is more complicated than the stereotype. Moldova isn't the entire freight fraud story, but it has become an important part of the system through which that story now passes.
