Kentucky freight broker Eve Logistics Inc Exposed: Double Brokering Scheme Leaves Carriers Unpaid
In recent months, numerous carriers have come forward with alarming stories about Eve Logistics Inc—a company now widely recognized as a double broker operation. Once listed as a freight broker with the FMCSA, Eve Logistics Inc has since lost its authority and is the subject of multiple collection efforts. Trucking companies, small carriers, and owner-operators have been left unpaid, resulting in serious financial harm.
If you’re one of the victims of Eve Logistics Inc, you are not alone. Dozens of complaints have surfaced, with multiple carriers taking legal and collections action. For help in recovering what you’re owed, contact Bill at 901-300-7460.
Who Was Eve Logistics Inc?
Eve Logistics Inc operated under FMCSA MC number 1450634, with its DOT number registered as 3925390. On paper, it appeared to be a standard freight broker offering load coordination between shippers and carriers. In practice, however, Eve Logistics was repeatedly reported for double brokering loads—accepting freight from shippers, then re-brokering it to unsuspecting carriers without proper disclosure or compensation.
Double brokering is not only unethical, it’s often illegal. It involves a broker accepting a load from a shipper and then passing it along to a second broker or carrier, usually under different names or MC numbers, and without permission. The shipper thinks they’re working with one party, but in reality, the load changes hands multiple times—making tracking, accountability, and payment highly uncertain.
FMCSA Action and Loss of Authority
As of mid-2025, Eve Logistics Inc is no longer authorized by the FMCSA to operate as a broker. According to the FMCSA Licensing & Insurance (L&I) database, the company’s authority has been revoked, with its bond listed as canceled or under claim.
Additionally, the company’s phone lines and email contacts have reportedly gone cold. Carriers attempting to reach the company for payment have found no response. In many cases, shippers assumed payments had already been made, leaving small carriers holding the bag.
The Double Brokering Pattern
Eve Logistics Inc didn’t just make a one-time error. According to complaints posted on industry forums, load boards, and watchdog groups, their behavior followed a distinct pattern:
- Posting Loads Under a Different Name: Many carriers accepted loads listed by Eve Logistics only to find the bill of lading (BOL) or rate confirmation under an unfamiliar entity.
- Delayed or Missing Payment: Even after hauling loads, carriers report receiving no payment, or being paid only a partial amount after long delays.
- Inconsistent Documentation: Paperwork often arrived late or was incorrect, suggesting poor internal systems or an intentional strategy to avoid detection.
- Bond Claims Denied or Stalled: Attempts to file against Eve Logistics’ surety bond were met with resistance or inaction, likely due to an overload of claims or internal investigations.
These are classic hallmarks of double brokering, a practice that has surged in recent years due to limited enforcement, lack of industry education, and regulatory loopholes.
Victim Statements
“We picked up a load for Eve Logistics and delivered it in good faith. A month later, we still hadn’t been paid. That’s when we realized we’d been double brokered.” — Texas-based flatbed carrier
“They used a different MC number on the rate con. We didn’t catch it at first. But now we’re out over $3,000 on that haul.” — Midwestern reefer operator
“Their number’s disconnected. Emails bounce. It’s like they vanished overnight. The bond is tied up and we’ve had to go to collections.” — California hotshot company
Legal and Financial Fallout
Double brokering doesn’t just result in late payments—it can destroy cash flow for small carriers who rely on weekly settlements to pay fuel bills, driver wages, insurance, and more. In some cases, failure to collect on even a few loads can put an entire operation out of business.
The fallout also extends to shippers, who may discover they’ve been misled about who hauled their freight. Liability questions arise when a double brokered load goes missing, is damaged, or results in an accident. Insurance coverage can be compromised, and both the broker and shipper can be drawn into litigation.
What To Do If You’ve Hauled for Eve Logistics Inc
If you moved freight for Eve Logistics Inc and have not been paid, here are steps you should take immediately:
- Document Everything: Save all emails, rate confirmations, BOLs, proof of delivery (POD), and any payment records.
- Check FMCSA Bond Info: Verify Eve Logistics’ surety bond status through FMCSA’s Licensing and Insurance portal. (Search MC# 1450634)
- File a Bond Claim: Even if others are already claiming, file yours. Many bonds have caps ($75,000) that get exhausted fast.
- Contact a Collections Expert: For aggressive and knowledgeable help, call Bill at 901-300-7460. He specializes in recovering unpaid freight bills from double broker scams like this one.
Warning Signs of a Double Broker
Protect yourself from future scams by recognizing these red flags:
- Too-good-to-be-true rates
- Different company name on the rate con vs load board
- Vague or changing contact information
- Requests to email paperwork to personal accounts
- Slow response to verification or insurance questions
- Urgency or pressure to accept load without full paperwork
Always double-check the MC number, carrier authority, and bonding information. Use tools like BrokerWatchList or call Bill directly with questions if you see something fishy.
A Pattern of Abuse in the Industry
Eve Logistics Inc is not an isolated case. In 2024–2025, double brokering scams exploded across the freight industry, as thousands of carriers competed for loads in a volatile market. Scammers used FMCSA-registered shell companies to build a false sense of legitimacy, then disappeared once enough damage had been done.
Carriers are now demanding stronger federal oversight, stricter vetting of brokers, and real penalties for double brokering.
The Role of FMCSA and What Needs to Change
Currently, the FMCSA allows freight brokers to operate with relatively low barriers to entry. A $75,000 surety bond is required—but in the event of widespread fraud, that bond is easily exhausted, leaving many carriers unpaid. Worse, bad actors can reincorporate under a new name and repeat the scam.
Industry advocates are pushing for:
- Increased FMCSA enforcement
- Mandatory broker training and certification
- Faster bond payout processes
- Blacklists of known double brokers
- Better load board oversight and verification
Until such reforms are in place, carriers must remain vigilant and act fast when unpaid.
