Stop Cargo Theft
Before It Starts

Protect your shipments from straight thefts and strategic theft networks. FleetUp unifies prevention, detection, and recovery in one connected workflow trusted by logistics providers, carriers, and government agencies.

Daily Cargo Theft News



    Cargo theft is no longer an isolated crime. It’s an organized, evolving industry that affects every link in the supply chain—from marine terminals and warehouses to truck stops and distribution centers.

    Straight thefts involve stolen trailers, pilfered containers, or theft of parked trucks at rest areas, terminals, and yards.
    Strategic theft networks are coordinated criminal groups using fraudulent carriers, staged diversions, cyber-enabled thefts, and insider collusion.

    Both forms of theft are surging nationwide, disrupting freight movement, driving up costs, and weakening trust across U.S. logistics and international trade.

    FleetUp’s cargo security system is built to stop both.

    Physical Lock and Visible Deterrence

    • If cutters or special tools touch the cable, an alert is triggered instantly—no waiting for manual reports or driver calls.
    • Every seal pairs automatically with the assigned truck and destination to block diversion attempts.

    Devices: 4CJ Smart Lock E-Seal, warning decals, role-based remote unlock

    Hidden Door Activity Tracking

    • Equip trailers with solar-powered asset trackers and door sensors that silently detect unauthorized activity the moment it happens.
    • This type doesn’t physically stop a breach but gives operations teams the earliest signal possible for fast action.
    • Each event is logged in real time, including location, route, and dwell status for full transparency.

    Devices: 5QS Solar Asset Tracker, integrated door sensor

    Covert Asset Visibility

    • Place compact CargoTrack tags at the pallet or package level to maintain end-to-end visibility through warehouses, hubs, and final destinations.
    • If a theft occurs, each tag broadcasts its live location, enabling coordinated recovery with law enforcement within the critical “golden hours.”

    Devices: CargoTrack Hidden Tag, optional trailer GPS

    • 1 Assign

    Assign devices to shipments in minutes. Truck, trailer, and cargo tags pair automatically at pickup.

    • 2 Monitor

    Monitor door state, dwell time, and route compliance on a live map powered by Google Maps enterprise.

    • 3 Detect

    Detect tampering, out-of-zone stops, and destination mismatches in real time.

    • 4 Respond

    Respond instantly by sharing a secure tracking link with on-site teams or law enforcement.

    • 5 Recover

    Each type serves a distinct purpose, depending on lane profile, risk level, and cargo sensitivity. Selecting the right configuration ensures you’re focusing protection where it matters most.
