Checking Who You Do Business With

Before you agree to do business with anyone, particularly here in the trucking industry, AWA advises that you verify three things to ensure a smooth and steady relationship. These three things are:

• Check the email address first.  The email address a company has provided to the FMCSA is the most crucial thing to verify.  If a company has provided a gmail.com email address or an email with a unique domain like awcollects.com, it’s important to ensure the email address you are communicating with either match what the company provided or has the same unique domain.  Most major carriers or brokers have their own unique email domains.  Of the identity theft cases AWA has worked on in the past the email address is always different than the one the company originally provided to the FMCSA.

• Check the phone number.  If the phone number the person calls in on doesn’t match the one provided to the FMCSA be sure to double check their email to ensure it at least matches.

• To be on the safe side, if either the email or phone number doesn’t match it would be a good idea to simply call the number provided in the AWA Identity Theft Protector Tool.  Making sure the person you are working with actually works for that company is worth the time, remember an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure!
