Schneider Posts 20 Percent Decrease in Cargo Theft Rates
Schneider, a leading provider of truckload, intermodal and logistics services, has announced the seventh consecutive year of declining cargo thefts and a 20 percent decline in truckload thefts.
Putting the achievement in perspective, CargoNet, a prominent authority on freight security, issued its 2013 Annual U.S. Cargo Theft Report earlier this year and indicated that the overall number of stolen freight incidents that occurred throughout the U.S. decreased by 9 percent last year.
Schneider attributes its top performance to its proven security methods that include proactive communication with shippers, Schneider drivers and owner-operators, as well as disciplined standard operating procedures and top-notch technology.
Another component of the company’s security plan is its flexibility to move high-value loads using driver teams, which creates velocity in the supply chain and ensures freight is continually moving and far less susceptible to theft.
The company also stresses the importance of preparing and educating drivers and owner-operators.
