      Inside the dispatch

      A five-minute read
      Lead story · On the road

      The phantom freight nobody at the top will name

      Interstate 40 — Double brokering quietly drained an estimated $800 million from carriers last year. We rode three months with the dispatchers, fraud investigators, and owner-operators living inside it.

      The day’s consequential freight story, reported past the press release and translated for the people quoting, booking, driving, and receiving it.
