Federal Action on Cargo Theft Accelerates With New Rulemaking Steps and Bipartisan Bills

Washington, D.C. — Various U.S. federal agencies are intensifying responses against organized rings targeting cargo theft at truck stops and intermodal hubs. The DOT issued a formal Request for Information (RFI) titled 'Protecting Supply Chains', consulting insurance firms and logistics agents.

Additionally, the U.S. Congress is advancing legislation like CORCA, aiming to sharpen investigative tools for cross-jurisdictional cargo thefts.

Market Impact

Increased enforcement will force brokers and shippers to exhaustively audit their partners and secure chain of custody through GPS monitoring and certified supply chain documentation.
