Truckers,
Got Stolen Escrow?

Missing Pay?

The Montgomery Ruling

made the reputation of a motor carrier the most investigated part of the load. Driver reports of wage theft, unreturned escrow, and double brokering matter more than ever.

We are helping drivers recover escrow and unpaid miles by reporting the debt to the data brokers creating and maintaining the carrier reputation files. For the first time, not paying a driver has a real impact on the carrier's ability to book loads. But only if you report it.

Use the form. Tell us anything about anyone. Provide your proof: settlement summaries, emails, texts, or other. We handle the rest through cooperation with Carso Cybernetics.

breaking their weapons of control

Illegal carriers create unfair marketplace conditions that hurt legitimate carriers. We systematically remove their competitive advantages.

  • Illegal carriers ignore Hours of Service laws, running solo drivers 24/7 like teams
  • They commit systematic wage theft to underbid legitimate freight rates
  • Housing insecurity keeps quality drivers trapped with exploitative employers
  • False pay benchmarks from illegal schedules distort driver expectations
  • Legitimate carriers lose experienced drivers to exploitation-based retention
  • Regulatory scrutiny increases industry-wide due to bad actors

Strategic Partnership Opportunity

By funding our work, legitimate carriers invest in removing illegal competitors while gaining access to experienced drivers who are ready to work.

Result: Fair competition based on merit, not exploitation.

Carso Cybernetics  ·  SuperTrucker

The TATTOO Foundation's carrier intelligence — 4.4 million carriers, 4.7 million authority-history events, 459K insurance filings, and the H-2B trucking employer surface that makes labor-coercion patterns visible — was donated by Carso Cybernetics from the SuperTrucker platform. SuperTrucker is the AI-native unified TMS built with drivers instead of against them — no driver-facing surveillance, real trust scoring, and a marketplace that makes safety pay. Carso Cybernetics also funds the TATTOO Foundation's Blue-Collar AI Access Program, which gives small carriers free AI integration and a seat at the agentic-freight table.
