Why Cargo Crime Keeps Growing

Freight fraud is getting faster, smarter, and more profitable. In this episode of Everything is Logistics, Blythe talks with Barry Conlon, CEO of Overhaul, about why cargo crime has escalated so sharply, how criminals are adapting to digital freight systems, and why so many shippers are now treating freight risk like a boardroom issue. They get into: --Why the last 24 to 36 months changed the fraud landscape --How fictitious pickups and manipulated digital paperwork are creating new vulnerabilities --Why “recovery” is not the goal, prevention is --How cargo crime differs across North America, Mexico, Brazil, and Europe --Why law enforcement, shippers, carriers, and tech providers need tighter coordination This conversation is a useful listen for shippers, brokers, carriers, and freight tech teams trying to understand where cargo crime is headed next.
