Freight Broker — Double-Brokering & Fraud Exposure

Industry front door for second-order-thinking. Adds domain triggers, example, packs. Parent Process unchanged. Not legal advice.

Activate when: a suspiciously cheap carrier; identity/equipment mismatch at pickup; a carrier you never booked demands payment; cargo goes missing; scaling carrier onboarding. Do NOT activate when: vetted, tracked, single-carrier move with clean signals.

Why this variant

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.

Domain inputs → the cascade

• 1st: attractive low rate, load "covered."
• 2nd: the entity hauling ≠ the entity booked; real carrier unpaid; fraudster disappears with the payment.
• 3rd: unpaid carrier files against the shipper/broker bond; cargo claim; shipper churn; bond/insurance exposure.
• Parties: broker, shipper, real carrier, surety.
