Recent reports show a 27% year‑over‑year increase, with average losses approaching $202,000 per load. These aren’t isolated incidents — they reflect a broader shift in risk across the supply chain.
As peak‑season pressures intensify, vulnerabilities multiply. Tighter delivery windows, congested hubs, extended overnight dwell times, and the movement of high‑value holiday goods all create ideal conditions for organized theft. Electronics, apparel, perishables, and other premium categories are consistently targeted, and the financial impact extends far beyond the value of the stolen freight.
Delays, chargebacks, customer dissatisfaction, and operational disruption compound the loss.
At Farelanes, we believe that informed teams make safer decisions. Our role is to help shippers, carriers, and logistics professionals understand the evolving threat landscape and take proactive steps to protect their freight. Through clear guidance, practical strategies, and data‑driven insight, we aim to strengthen the industry’s ability to anticipate risk rather than react to it.
The challenges are real — but so are the tools, processes, and partnerships that can keep freight secure. As the season ramps up, we remain committed to supporting logistics teams with the clarity and confidence they need to navigate every mile safely.
