Fake Team Driving Scam: ALL ELD Systems Affected

Dec 9, 2025 | Industry News

Truckers Report

Mainly Chicagoland does this, so what they do is they buy an ELD service platform from overseas although the ELD platform believes they are in America because they furnish a credible USDOT/MC, vehicle count, and fake business fronts.

So even though they’re dispatching from overseas & not American-based whatsoever, the scammers use Google voice numbers, fake websites & fronts to create false imitations to the ELD platforms. Then they’ll imitate the ELD customer service line of the actual ELD platform to the drivers and then the carriers scam their own drivers, brokers, and shippers/receivers with weekly production.

The drivers don’t actually team drive it’s fake in reality but on paperwork, the scammer carriers reverse engineer the way elogs works, there’s not ever really two drivers for the one shipment it’s really only one driver. Brokers have no idea they just let a team load ship by a solo driver working under a foreign scam carriers Pretending to be an American carrier company.

It’s really all the ELD platforms fault because there’s No verification system for the driver HOS protection at length, ELD platforms haven’t designed a way to prevent the scamming from Russia, India, or other countries scamming all over America…. and then what the scammer carriers do as well…is after even the Driver no longer works there for the scam carrier, the scam carrier still use the CDL driver’s license without the driver’s knowledge even though he/she is long gone month and months later. The scam carrier takes the drivers CDL Credentials amongst the other drivers doing fake team driving and without permission of the CDL driver uses the driver’s license.. The scam carriers do this to falsify record government filings to drive up vehicle mileage fraud, tax evasion, falsify production, and so so forth.

So basically say CDL drivers at home out of work for months but they are actually working at companies all throughout the states where their license is being utilized but they’re actually never there because they don’t actually have a job… but the scammer carriers from overseas with the false fake American fronts are illegally using the drivers CDL license while the real driver is actually out of work at home wondering hmm where should I work next.
