Chameleon carriers (fraudulent trucking companies) are stealing loads and evading enforcement by reusing VINs across multiple authorities, and there is no central database to cross-reference VINs with authority numbers.
No existing system allows DOT officers to compare a tractor's VIN against all active motor carrier authority numbers to detect when the same VIN is used by multiple companies.
