Danny breaks down how cargo theft has become a full-blown, organized industry, blending cyber attacks and coordinated physical moves that let criminals walk away with entire shipments in minutes, why everyday consumer goods are now prime targets, how social media demand is reshaping black-market trends, and why tech alone won't save you if you don't have the human oversight to back it up! No one's immune, so do simple operational changes, smarter vetting practices, nonstop vigilance carriers, brokers, and shippers need to stay ahead of this increasingly sophisticated threat, and keep supporting the show for more conversations like this!
