IN THIS EPISODE WE DISCUSS:
[05.38] An introduction to Bobby and SecurSpace, and Ron and Overhaul.
[07.54] Exactly what cargo theft is, the different types, and the trends to look out for.
“There’s a whole new world in cargo theft. We’re three years into a significant spike in cargo theft, and the US takes the lead in how much it’s increased… There’s been an expansion of theft techniques and a lot of criminal organizations, that historically weren’t in the cargo theft space, have jumped in with both feet.”
[10.09] The current scope of the cargo theft problem, and why gathering data to measure it accurately is problematic.
[13.13] The future of cargo theft, and why it’s going to continue to rise.
“It’s going to take a collaborative industry, plus government and associations, joining forces to curb this issue.”
[14.47] What shippers can do, from a people perspective, to mitigate freight theft and risk, and why organizations need to focus on security through compliance.
[21.35] How technology and security can help shippers mitigate risk and prevent theft.
[25.25] Why secure parking and storage is so important, and what organizations should look for in a secure yard.
[30.54] How providers can better secure their yards.

[35.03] How shippers, and their 3PL partners and carriers, can better secure their freight in-transit.
“Everybody, the entire organization from the top to the bottom, needs to adhere to a security culture… Building a safety culture is what the industry has to do to help mitigate this problem.”
