Webinar: Can AI Stop Cargo Theft? What Works & What Doesn't

Cargo theft losses are no longer a slow, steady problem — they're spiking, and the criminals behind them are getting smarter. In this expert panel, hosted by the California Trucking Association, industry leaders break down why cargo theft losses tripled year-over-year, how "strategic theft" schemes like fictitious pickups and double brokering are stealing loads without ever breaking a lock, and how AI surveillance and remote guarding are changing the game for trucking yards, warehouses, and distribution centers. You'll hear directly from a cargo theft data expert, a veteran insurance investigator, and a security executive with three decades at UPS on what's really driving the numbers, how thieves are weaponizing AI themselves, and what carriers and brokers can do today — even on a limited budget — to reduce risk. What You'll Learn: Why Cargo Theft Losses Are Spiking – Breaking down the data behind a nearly 100% year-over-year increase in average loss value per load, and why high-value tech and electronics freight is driving the surge. Strategic Theft & Fictitious Pickups Explained – How criminals impersonate legitimate carriers, exploit load boards, and use fake documentation to trick brokers into handing over freight without a single break-in. AI vs. AI: How Criminals Are Using Technology Against You – From AI-generated equipment photos to enhanced phishing and social engineering, learn how bad actors are using the same tools you are — and how to out-vet them. The Power of AI Surveillance & Remote Guarding – How video surveillance combined with a human-in-the-loop model is achieving a 98% deterrence rate, sub-10-second alert response times, and real-time talk-down intervention at trucking yards. Practical, Low-Budget First Steps – What to prioritize if you're a yard operator or fleet manager with limited resources, from vetting protocols to leveraging existing camera infrastructure.
