Manage episode 300375919 series 2762492
In this episode, our guest is Scott Cornell, transportation lead and crime and theft specialist at Travelers. Cargo theft is on the rise compared to pre-pandemic levels. Cornell talks about where cargo is stolen and what types of products are most desirable to thieves. He also discusses ways that supply chain professionals can better safeguard their cargo.
Because of strong consumer demand, U.S. ports have been setting records all year long. July was no different, as ports continued to see robust business on imports, but not so much on the export side of their business. What's behind the numbers, and do they show trends for the future?
Insurance is one of the largest expenses for any trucking fleet. This week we report on a new kind of insurance available in some states. What makes it unique and less costly?
