Cargo theft and freight fraud have become one of the fastest-growing threats in supply chains today.
The Problem
• Cargo theft losses surged to $725 million in 2025. That’s a 60% increase since 2024.
• The value of stolen cargo has exceeded $1 billion annually, with theft incidents reaching historic highs.
• The average value of a single cargo theft now exceeds $273,000 per shipment. The most targeted cargo includes high-value items like electronics and food/beverage.
• Criminals increasingly use identity theft, fraudulent carriers and fictitious pickups to steal freight without breaking locks or entering facilities.
Today’s cargo theft is organized, strategic and often involves criminals impersonating legitimate carriers. Without proper identity verification, your freight could be picked up by the wrong driver.
The Solution
Native American Logistics now verifies driver identity before your freight is released. Our Secure Driver Network adds a powerful layer of protection to every shipment.
Using advanced AI-powered verification technology, we confirm that the person picking up your shipment is the authorized, legitimate driver assigned to your load. This eliminates one of the most common methods criminals use to steal freight: impersonating carriers or drivers.
How It Works
Driver Assignment Verification
When a carrier is dispatched, the assigned driver’s identity is registered and verified through secure digital authentication.
Pre-Pickup Identity Confirmation
Before pickup, the driver must complete identity verification using secure biometric and AI-based validation, cross-referenced against 40+ security data points.
Verified Pickup Authorization
Only verified, authenticated drivers are authorized to pick up your freight.
Reduced Risk During Transit
NAL monitors the shipment to ensure secure, uninterrupted delivery. If identity cannot be verified, the shipment is not released.
Why This Matters
Most freight theft today occurs through fraud, not force. Criminals pose as legitimate carriers, show up for pickup and disappear with the shipment. Our Secure Driver Network stops this before it happens. We verify the driver before your freight moves.
