Introduction:
Freight theft has persisted throughout history, driven by the allure of acquiring items stealthily. However, the risks involved, including loss of trust and legal consequences, make it a precarious endeavor. In the freight industry, truck drivers face constant vigilance, especially in regions like California, Texas, Georgia, and Mexico, where cargo theft has been on the rise.

Freight Theft Statistics:
Recent data from FreightWaves reveals a concerning trend in Mexico. During the second quarter of 2023, the country witnessed an average of 58 daily freight-related theft incidents. This marks a notable 6% year-over-year increase from 2022 and a 2% uptick from the first quarter of 2023. These figures emphasize the heightened significance of road safety for those in the freight industry.
