Greater confidence that the carrier you approved is the carrier that shows up.
Every shipment is protected by the Forza Shield™ Security Protocol, a multi-layer verification process designed to reduce the risk of fraud, cargo theft, double brokering, unauthorized pickups and carrier-related disruptions before your freight is ever loaded.
The threat
The people taking freight today do not cut locks. They send an email from a domain one character off yours. They use a real carrier’s authority and a phone number they control. The paperwork looks correct, the driver looks correct, and nobody knows anything is wrong until a receiver calls to ask where the truck is.
At Forza we do not simply assign a carrier. We verify every transportation partner through multiple independent security, compliance and intelligence platforms to help protect your freight from origin to destination.
Freight fraud has changed, and the way brokers protect freight has to change with it.
Nick Mascari, Founder and CEO
The protocol
Each layer is an independent check run against an independent source. A bad actor prepared for one of them is not prepared for all of them.
What this means for shippers
Freight fraud and cargo theft continue to increase across the transportation industry. Forza Shield helps reduce that exposure by making sure every carrier is thoroughly vetted before your freight moves.
Greater confidence that the carrier you approved is the carrier that shows up.
Risk identified before dispatch rather than discovered in transit.
Independent verification across several platforms rather than a single lookup.
Enhanced protocols for sensitive, time-critical and high-value shipments.
The right carrier, the right driver and the right equipment at the dock.
A partner that communicates proactively rather than reacting after the fact.
The Forza Shield™ promise
We do not simply find trucks. The right carrier. The right driver. The right equipment. Every time.
Protecting your freight requires far more than checking a carrier’s authority or insurance. That is why we built Forza Shield™, a security protocol combining independent verification technology with operational expertise, to help safeguard every shipment.
Our trusted technology partners
Forza Shield runs on five independent platforms plus the federal record. No single source is trusted on its own. The software flags. People decide.
A nationwide sensor network that has physically seen the truck. Independent confirmation of where a carrier actually runs.
Carrier Identity, Load Lock and Know Your Driver, monitoring the load from tender through pickup.
FMCSA safety and authority monitoring, chameleon-carrier detection and FreightGuard reports.
Shipment tracking with fraud detection for stolen loads, double brokering and mode switching.
Real-time identity resolution and behavioral analytics to help detect synthetic identities and false documents.
Operating authority, safety profile and out-of-service history. The baseline every other layer is checked against.
Next step
Ask us what happens before a carrier touches your freight. It is a short conversation, and it tells you more about a broker than any rate ever will.
