About

Freight fraud is discussed everywhere and measured almost nowhere. Freight Fraud Index exists to fix that: one transparent, citable number that tracks the state of U.S. freight fraud month over month — built so a reporter, an analyst, or a policymaker can quote it with confidence.

How we keep it credible

Authority comes from showing your work, not asserting it. Three commitments hold us to that:

• Every figure cites a source. No number appears on this site without a traceable origin you can check yourself — see the full source list.
• The method is public. Our methodology — components, weights, baselines, and bands — is documented in the open, along with a dated changelog of every revision.
• Monthly snapshots are immutable. Once a month is published, its figures are frozen. Corrections are made forward and logged, so a citation never silently changes underneath you.

A note from the team

We started Freight Fraud Index after watching the same fraud stories circulate without a shared yardstick to measure them against. We are not selling a fraud-prevention product and we have no stake in the number running high or low — our only job is to keep the measurement honest, the sources visible, and the method open to scrutiny. (This note is placeholder copy and will be expanded.)
