The Intermodal Logistics Podcast

Bloodhound cargo tracking and FTZs


Listen Later

With cargo theft taking a step further into the forefront of consciousness after the recent story on Guy Fieri and Sammy Hagar's disappearing loads of Santo Tequila, the spotlight also goes on solutions to prevent it in the future. That's where Curtis Spencer, CEO of Bloodhound Tracking Device, comes in, as he joins us on The Intermodal Logistics Podcast.

Curtis tells us how the origins of Bloodhound date to 9/11 as federal officials looked for better ways to track cargo throughout supply chains. He discusses developing the technology with former NASA engineers, and how addressing theft has become an even greater focus than looking for suspicious freight. Curtis outlines how Bloodhound tracks location, temperature, tampering and more, all with a super-long lasting battery - and without being easily detected.

And he goes over how one of his devices would've made the tequila theft a lot tougher. Plus, Curtis takes us through his other company, IMS Worldwide, and how setting up FTZs (or Foreign Trade Zones) has become an especially busy business during this year of tariffs and inventory pull-forward.
