Cargo thefts continue to rise, and thieves are becoming more sophisticated.

Theft prevention and recovery network CargoNet reported almost 1,800 pilferage claims were made by its members last year. In 2021, fewer than 1,300 incidents were reported, leading to an increase of 15%. 2023 trends continue to rise, with thefts spreading farther east.

“One of the things that we are starting to see, and I predict is going to be a long-term trend, is the shift of strategic and fraudulent thefts moving to the East Coast and more eastern states,” said Danny Ramon, intelligence and response manager at supply chain risk management company Overhaul.

How can Schneider help?

Cargo security has become a top priority for shippers. Just one stolen load of cargo in a year can cause major disruptions to the business and a significant loss in revenue. Schneider is continuously working to better serve our customers and ensure their freight is delivered safely and on time.

A layered approach

A single security technique at each supply chain phase won’t ensure a safe shipment. Schneider overlaps capabilities, so cargo is always covered.

Supply chain security technology provides customized solution for better freight visibility

Schneider works with Overhaul, a supply chain security company, to develop and provide real-time visibility and premier freight tracking capabilities for brokered freight.

Freight tracking

Multiple sources of data are used for real-time monitoring and exception notifications.

Customizable parameters

Schneider and the shipper evaluate and validate the value of the freight, subsequent risks and how incoming notifications should be managed.

Schneider saw an opportunity to implement industry-leading technology to improve cargo security and to maximize the shipper’s bottom line. Learn more about how Schnieder can your business seize security and cost-saving results here.
