# The cargo theft prevention playbook built for 3PLs

In 2026, cargo theft is more organized, more strategic, and hitting harder than ever. Recent data reveals an 18% year-over-year increase in incidents, resulting in an average loss per theft of $273,990.

For 3PLs already juggling thin margins and high operational demands, one theft can destroy profitability and customer relationships in a matter of minutes.

In this e-book, you’ll learn:

- How modern cargo thieves operate, leveraging digital access and operational gaps to infiltrate your facilities
- Why insurance and disconnected evidence may not be enough to mitigate losses if theft occurs
- How to implement system-led workflows that help prevent cargo theft while providing other competitive advantages for your 3PL
