Manufacturers encounter cargo theft when:
- the manufacturer is liable for a stolen load through contractual terms such as “domestic prepaid”
- shortage is detected upon delivery
- theft causes indirect business losses where goods are not available for sale and must be replenished
- where stolen cargo enters the market through an unauthorized and competing channel
- improper handling of stolen goods and reintroduction into the market creates product liability
Manufacturers maximize CargoNet’s benefits by:
- recommending that motor carriers become CargoNet members to avoid supply-chain interruption
- reporting losses to CargoNet where a shortage is detected from warehouses
CargoNet helps manufacturers:
- quickly recover stolen cargo
- identify and deter pilferage in the supply chain
- improve operational efficiencies
