Key Takeaways
Cargo theft is a major problem in the freight industry, and it's important to share information about incidents to help others prevent them.
Location tracking and real-time alerts can help you identify suspicious activity with your shipments.
Cargo thieves often target high-value goods that can be easily resold, such as electronics and beverages.
When shipping in high-risk areas, make sure your carrier has a full tank of gas to avoid stopping and becoming vulnerable.
Cold chain goods are still targets for theft, even though they require special handling.
