Cargo Theft On The Rise! During this time of year, cargo thieves and scammers capitalize off the increase of demand goods being shipped. To protect customer cargo follow these steps: 1. Be cautious of carriers offering significantly lower rates, especially for Friday pickups, this might signal a setup for theft. 2. Verify the caller's identity, using their MC number, company headquarters and the person you are speaking with. 3. Only tender loads to contacts listed in your Transportation Management System; beware of carriers using @gmail accounts similar to the company name. 4. Utilize GPS or ELD tracking for all shipments, ensuring carriers accept the tracking link before pickup. Feel free to reach out if you have any more questions on how to protect your cargo through this holiday season

Cargo Theft Is Going Digital The landscape of cargo theft is swiftly evolving, with digital tactics becoming the new norm. Fictitious pickups, where fraudsters pose as legitimate carriers, have seen a staggering 600% spike in cases across Canada and the U.S. in 2022. This trend underscores a broader shift towards digitally savvy methods, such as identity theft, now the primary tool for stealing valuable freight during transit. Despite these alarming statistics, traditional theft methods persist alongside the rise of digitally enabled crimes. For businesses, staying ahead of these threats requires proactive measures. Providing comprehensive training and information to supply chain and logistics personnel is paramount. Equipping them with the knowledge to recognize and respond to evolving tactics can be as effective as investing in advanced technologies. Additionally, staying abreast of regional authorities' communications and actively participating in industry activities can provide valuable insights into emerging trends. By fostering a culture of awareness and collaboration, businesses can effectively mitigate the risks posed by the new wave of digital cargo theft. #CargoTheft #DigitalSecurity #SupplyChainRisk #FraudPrevention #LogisticsAwareness
