This is now the hottest cargo theft scam. Experts say bogus pickups will become the dominant type of cargo theft. CVTA says this is a scam, and there is no Larry Davis that recruits for Knight and the carrier does not charge recruits, CVTA says. Several people have fallen victim to the scammer, CVTA says, and a police report has been filed in Florida. CVTA says it received the information from the American Trucking Associations.
