Show Notes
In this episode of Behind the Wheelhouse, hosts Jon and Justin sit down with Alex Snook, CEO and Co-Founder of On|Sight, to unpack how cargo theft really happens and why traditional digital vetting tools are no longer enough to stop it.
After losing a full truckload of solar panels to a sophisticated fraud scheme, Snook set out to build a solution that tackles the problem at its source. On|Sight is a shipper-first driver verification platform that focuses on physical, real-time authentication — ensuring the truck and driver who show up are exactly who they claim to be.
Throughout the conversation, we discuss:
- How freight fraud happens even when carriers “look good on paper”
- Why shippers have historically been shielded from the true cost of fraud
- The limitations of digital-only vetting and why physical verification matters
- How On|Sight verifies drivers at the dock using secure, frictionless tools
- Why trucking has lagged behind on technology — and what needs to change
- Lessons for entrepreneurs building solutions from firsthand industry pain points
This episode is essential listening for shippers, brokers, carriers, and logistics leaders who want to understand where freight fraud actually starts, and how to stop it before freight ever leaves the facility.
