Cargo theft is a concern for fleet operators, and certain types of goods are more likely to be stolen. The most stolen cargo items are typically electronics, such as laptops, phones, and televisions, and consumables like food and beverages. These products are frequently targeted because they are valuable, easy to sell, and hard to trace.
Electronics top the list because they have high market demand and can quickly be resold on black markets. Food and beverages are also attractive targets because they often lack serial numbers or unique identifiers, making it difficult for law enforcement to track stolen goods. Additionally, cargo thieves sometimes target pharmaceutical products, clothing, and building materials due to their value and resale potential.
Cargo theft usually happens at vulnerable points, such as rest stops, parking lots, or during transit. Fleet operators must take proactive steps to protect their shipments. Using technology like GPS tracking and real-time alerts, fleets can monitor their trucks and assets, reducing the chances of theft.
