Double-brokering is a second-order trap: booking a cheap "carrier" who secretly re-brokers to a real hauler → you pay the fraudster, the real carrier goes unpaid and pursues the shipper → cargo claims, lost account, liability cascade.

How it works
The parent second-order-thinking traces consequences others miss. Double-brokering is a second-order trap: booking a cheap "carrier" who secretly re-brokers to a real hauler → you pay the fraudster, the real carrier goes unpaid and pursues the shipper → cargo claims, lost account, liability cascade.
When to use it
- a freight broker faces fraud/double-brokering or non-payment risk
- 'the carrier that hauled isn't the one I booked', chargebacks, unpaid carriers coming after the shipper
- tracing downstream liability
When not to use it
a fully vetted, tracked, single-carrier move with no anomalies.
