Field notes
The guide argues that the risk can begin during online search, not only at pickup, and advises treating sponsored results as claims to verify. Its practical checks include addresses, registration, written estimates, and a cubic-foot comparison against truck capacity. The page also links to FMCSA resources and names a checklist, scammer database, and inventory calculator, though the extracted evidence does not show their underlying content or methods.
