Cargo Theft Losses Surpass $35 Billion — Can Companies Stop It? 

Modern cargo theft involves more than breaking locks. Criminals now use:

• Route monitoring and shipment tracking

• Identity fraud and fake pickups

• Insider information

• Coordinated teams for fast execution

According to industry reports, cargo theft continues to increase as criminals adapt to weaknesses in traditional logistics systems.

Most companies rely on:

• GPS tracking for trucks

• Warehouse surveillance systems

• Locks and physical seals

However, these systems focus on vehicle tracking, not cargo tracking.

👉 Once cargo is removed from the truck, visibility is often lost.

This gap allows stolen goods to disappear quickly and makes recovery extremely difficult.

When cargo is stolen, companies are left asking:

• Where did the shipment go?

• When was it taken?

• Can it be recovered?

Without real-time asset tracking, businesses lose both visibility and control.

This is one of the biggest challenges in modern supply chain security.

To reduce losses and improve recovery, businesses must shift from vehicle-based tracking to asset-level tracking systems.

This means:

• Identifying and registering individual assets

• Tracking items in real time

• Receiving alerts when movement is unauthorized

This approach provides a stronger layer of cargo theft prevention.
