John Cantera
Director | Vigilant Transportation Services
John Cantera Jr. is a logistics and supply chain expert with over 25 years of experience dedicated to fighting fraud in the transportation industry. Known as the Double Broker Bounty Hunter, John has made it his mission to expose fraudulent actors and protect carriers and brokers from costly scams. Through his company, Vigilant Transportation Services, he provides double broker investigations, commercial collections, identity theft recovery, and fraud prevention education.
John’s journey in logistics began as a military logistics officer in the U.S. Air Force, where he managed deployment operations and transportation logistics. After transitioning to the civilian sector, he gained extensive experience in retail distribution, maritime operations, and final-mile delivery. He later built his own trucking company, but like many in the industry, he faced major financial setbacks, including the challenges of operating during COVID-19. These experiences gave him firsthand insight into the vulnerabilities that small carriers and owner-operators face daily.
Seeing the rise of double brokering and identity fraud in trucking, John dedicated himself to uncovering and dismantling these scams. By reverse-engineering fraud schemes, educating the industry, and assisting carriers in recovering lost revenue, he has become one of the most recognized voices in freight fraud prevention. His work has led to industry-wide discussions on improving regulations and accountability within logistics.
John’s expertise goes beyond fraud detection—he is an advocate for stronger industry standards, mentorship, and ensuring that truckers and brokers are equipped with the knowledge to protect their businesses. Whether through his investigations, speaking engagements, or educational content, John is committed to making the logistics industry safer for everyone.
