Freight theft is an increasingly prevalent and expensive threat to U.S. shippers.

With issues ranging from double brokering, organized cargo theft rings, and even simple theft of unattended loaded trailers, the freight industry faces a multifaceted threat landscape.

According to CargoNet, freight theft incidents rose by 46% in Q1 2024 compared to Q1 2023, resulting in total losses exceeding $76 million.

With issues ranging from double brokering, organized cargo theft rings, and even simple theft of unattended loaded trailers, the freight industry faces a multifaceted threat landscape. 

Double brokering, where a legitimate freight broker unwittingly hands off a load to a fraudulent broker who then steals the cargo, has become increasingly more common. These organized rings meticulously plan and execute heists, leveraging advanced technology and insider information to evade detection and law enforcement.

In addition, the theft of unattended loaded trailers presents a simpler but equally damaging problem. With this increase in freight theft, you might be wondering who you can trust with your freight.
