Security & Fraud · Driver Training VideoCargo Theft Prevention

Cargo theft is either a broken seal or a fraudulent pickup by someone posing as the carrier, with real paperwork. Drivers learn seal checks, kingpin and gladhand locks, and why load details stay inside the dispatch chain.

What drivers learn

There are two kinds of cargo theft, and they don't look the same. The first is straight theft — someone breaks a seal, cuts a curtain, or drives off with a whole trailer while it's parked unattended.

Straight theft usually happens fast, often in the first few hours after pickup, while the trailer is still near the shipper and before anyone's checked on it. Thieves watch shipping docks, follow trucks out of the gate, and wait for the first stop.

That's why the basics matter every single time, not just on high-value runs. A seal number gets checked against your paperwork before you leave the shipper and again at every stop. A dropped trailer gets the kingpin lock and the glad-hand lock, no exceptions.

Your company standard: verify your identity and your paperwork match at every pickup and delivery — if something's been changed at the last minute with no call from dispatch, stop and confirm before you load or unload.

None of this is about slowing you down. It's about closing the small gaps that thieves are counting on — a seal nobody checked, a trailer nobody locked, a pickup nobody verified. Catch those, and there's nothing here for them to take.
