Labor Day cargo theft activity expected to spike
Summary
CargoNet is issuing a critical advisory to the trucking and logistics industry regarding the increased risk of criminal theft activity during the upcoming Labor Day holiday weekend. In a comprehensive analysis of supply chain risk events over the past five years, CargoNet has identified concerning patterns that demand immediate attention from industry professionals, the company said. The study, which examined 179 incidents occurring between the Thursday before Labor Day and the Wednesday after, reveals a landscape of heightened vulnerability for cargo during this holiday period. This facility joins three other locations that PGT Trucking has opened this year, including Ghent, Kentucky; Spartanburg, South Carolina; and Laredo, Texas. Additionally, the new pay-as-you-go option has a quick approval process, no setup fee and allows drivers to take advantage of RXO’s Fuel Card discounts.
