We hear so much about the merchandise and product loss that happens in stores, especially when groups enter in a coordinated effort to grab garments by the armful and as many pieces, boxes, and bags as they can carry out. What you hear less about is when those losses happen across the supply chain with thefts that are more than just product by the handful, but are full trailer loads stolen at a time. While it used to be a matter of just stealing a truck, or the opportunity to hijack a trailer at a truck stop, trailer theft has evolved to a complex and coordinated crime of fictitious bills of lading, brazen yard switches, and international networks of bad actors operating not with arms full, but at arm’s length, while stealing from manufacturers, distribution centers, and stores.
Listen on-demand now to our panel of guest speakers who are working diligently every day in their own organizations and within the efforts of The ISCPO (International Supply Chain Protection Organization) and The Supply Chain Coalition, as we discuss current trends, amazing cases, and the local and national legislative efforts being championed to fight back in this war on crime.
