Growing Freight Tonnage Equals Growing Cargo Security Concerns

The ability to track the location of cargo is always an important requirement for shippers; however, tracking not only the location of cargo but also monitoring cargo security is perhaps more important. It’s simple to just check the location of a shipment, but do you know if your cargo is truly secure? 

The American Trucking Association estimates that approximately 70 percent of all freight tonnage is moved by truck. This is anticipated to grow as total freight tonnage for all modes of transportation is estimated to increase by as much as 21% by 2023. As more freight is moved by air, rail, ocean and truck, maintaining cargo security takes on even greater importance.
