Listen Later

Bobby Strenk of SecurSpace & Ron Greene of Overhaul talk about cargo theft - the biggest challenges & trends, and best ways to keep your shipments safe.

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.

"What are you doing at your facility, what is your infrastructure, and how does it compare to the gold standard? Not every yard needs to be Fort Knox, so take a 'good, better, best' approach."

[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."

[38.44] Why freight at rest is at risk, and what companies can do to secure it.

[43.03] How SecurSpace helps customers with their growing national network of secure parking and storage.

[46.18] The role Overhaul play in protecting cargo for their customers.
