The cargo theft prevention and recovery network
RouteScore API: Supply Chain
What is RouteScore API?
CargoNet's RouteScore API combines cutting-edge geospatial models with advanced machine-learning algorithms. This innovative integration delivers highly accurate predictions by harnessing spatial data and predictive analytics, transforming complex datasets into real-time actionable insights to improve cargo load safety.
Our risk-scoring algorithm is transforming how the industry evaluates and manages cargo theft risk. By providing lane and load-level insights, shippers and brokers can align their own carrier and driver security scores with high-risk routes. This proactive approach is driving carriers and drivers to elevate their security practices while brokers, retailers, and manufacturers implement additional measures such as tracking devices, security escorts, driver teams, and relays to ensure safer cargo transport. Note: We do not provide carrier security scores; it's up to the end user to build and create them.
Added Benefits by Veritical
- Route Optimization: Use the risk score to adjust routes dynamically, avoiding high-risk areas, especially theft-prone truck stops.
- Driver Training and Alerts: Provide drivers with real-time alerts and training on best practices when traveling through high-risk areas, emphasizing vigilance and secure stopping points.
- Security Enhancements: Equip high-risk loads with additional security measures such as advanced locking systems, GPS tracking, and onboard cameras to deter and monitor potential theft attempts.
- Carrier Selection: Choose carriers with proven security measures and reliability for high-risk loads, ensuring they are equipped to handle the additional risks.
- Risk-Based Pricing: Adjust pricing models to reflect the risk scores, potentially offering incentives for safer routes and times or charging premiums for higher-risk shipments.
- Communication and Coordination: Maintain clear communication with all parties involved, ensuring everyone is aware of the risk scores and the reasons behind them, facilitating coordinated risk mitigation efforts.
- Shipment Scheduling: Schedule shipments to minimize exposure during high-risk times, such as avoiding weekends, nights, or peak theft seasons.
- Packaging and Labeling: Implement discreet packaging and labeling to avoid drawing attention to high-value or desirable commodities, reducing the risk of theft.
- Insurance Adjustments: Adjust insurance coverage based on the risk score, ensuring higher-risk loads are adequately covered and potentially negotiating better terms with insurers.
- Inventory Management: Plan inventory levels and deliveries according to risk scores, ensuring high-value or essential goods are shipped during lower-risk times.
- Vendor Collaboration: Work closely with vendors and logistics partners to ensure they understand and mitigate the risks associated with high-risk shipments.
- Stock Security: Increase security measures at retail locations when expecting high-risk deliveries, such as enhanced surveillance and secure receiving processes.
Cargo loss data combined with sophisticated modeling and analysis
With 10+ years of accumulative national cargo theft data, Verisk data scientists developed an AI solution that powers risk scoring before a trip starts based on various factors such as: type of commodity hauled, value, origin and destination, travel distance, day of the week, truck stop risk, holidays, seasonality, etc.

The RouteScore model assesses risks related to theft along a specific route. The risk score has a range of 0-100, with 100 being the highest risk. It is designed to help supply chain and insurance companies better understand their risk of cargo theft and provide them with decision-making support to better protect cargo from being stolen.
