You’re not imagining things: Cargo theft really is on the rise — and it has been for a while.
Cargo theft. It’s rare, but its impact is wide. While porch pirates grab the attention of the average consumer, logistics professionals and shippers are seeing a sizable increase in both old-fashioned and high-tech theft of entire truckloads of commodities including food and beverage products, household goods and electronics.
The last few months have been challenging for the world as a whole. Among other things, the impact of international conflicts, continued labor shortages and the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, have exacerbated the supply-chain-congestion issues that began at the onset of 2020.
Cargo claims are never fun. Properly filing one can be both confusing and frustrating. This is especially true when working with a freight broker to move your freight. Since freight brokerages aren’t trucking companies, many shippers simply don’t know where to turn for compensation on an over, short, and/or damaged (OS&D) load.

“Where’s my freight?”
If you’re a shipper or a transportation provider, the past several weeks have probably added a few gray hairs to your head.
The days of doing business over fax or even snail mail are fading. This could be due in part to the fact that people within a company generally aren’t in a central office anymore — particularly now in the work-from-home world we live in. But ultimately it comes down to speed and clarity in communication.
