MODE Global Partners with Highway to Elevate Carrier Sourcing and Fraud Prevention Capabilities

DALLAS, Feb. 4, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- MODE Global, one of the world's leading logistics companies, has announced a strategic partnership with Highway, a leader in Carrier Identity® and fraud prevention solutions. This collaboration aims to strengthen MODE Global's network integrity, enhance operational efficiency and elevate security across its extensive carrier network.

Streamlined Onboarding and Risk Mitigation
MODE Global's decision to partner with Highway stems from the increasing prevalence of fraud within the logistics industry and the need for innovative tools to combat this challenge. Highway's advanced fraud prevention capabilities and robust carrier sourcing tools perfectly align with MODE Global's goals of ensuring network integrity and strategically expanding its carrier base.

"In response to the increasing rates of fraud within the industry, MODE Global is delighted to announce our partnership with Highway to elevate our risk mitigation platform," said Lance Malesh, president and CEO of MODE Global. "This collaboration completes the carrier sourcing and vetting component of our technology ecosystem, which is built with the finest providers across the logistics landscape."

Through this partnership, MODE Global will streamline and automate its carrier onboarding process, leveraging Highway's centralized platform for actionable data, enhanced communication and efficient collaboration. Highway's innovative solutions will also help MODE mitigate risk effectively while improving access to underutilized capacity, ensuring a more robust and reliable carrier network. 

Tackling Industry Fraud
MODE Global customers will benefit from heightened security for their shipments through enhanced visibility during the carrier onboarding process. Highway's 'Load Lock' functionality provides an added layer of protection, identifying fraudulent actors in real time during load booking.

"Fraud prevention and network integrity are critical challenges in today's logistics landscape, and we're honored to partner with an industry leader like MODE Global to address them," said Bo Carlton, senior vice president of customer success at Highway. "By collaborating with MODE's innovative technology ecosystem, we're creating a safer, more efficient environment for their carriers, agents and customers on every load."

For agents and operators, Highway's carrier sourcing tools provide actionable insights into strategic carrier partners outside MODE's current network. This ensures accurate carrier selection, minimizes risks and enhances operational efficiency, ultimately protecting customer freight and optimizing costs.

Highway has already demonstrated its impact by identifying fraudulent carriers that were undetected by MODE's existing fraud prevention measures. These insights have enabled MODE to take proactive steps to block unauthorized carriers, maintaining the integrity of its network and reducing potential risks.
