Why Cargo Risk Management Matters
Cargo theft, equipment breakdowns, weather disruptions, and compliance violations are just a few of the challenges threatening today’s freight. Risk management in logistics isn’t just about planning ahead—it’s about building resilience into every shipment.
- Annual losses from cargo theft in the U.S. exceed $1 billion, with organized theft rings targeting high-value freight.
- 91% of supply chain professionals say risk management is more important now than it was five years ago.
- FMCSA and CBP regulations continue to evolve, raising the bar on safety and documentation standards.
By partnering with TA Dedicated, you get a risk-aware logistics partner that brings proactive planning, in-transit visibility, and contingency execution to every load.
