Businesses Push Senate on Cargo Theft Legislation

The operational impact of cargo theft is significant, with the trucking industry losing $18 million daily and railroads reporting over $200 million in losses in 2025.

Legislative Context

The Combating Organized Retail Crime Act (CORCA), passed by the House, is now awaiting action in the Senate Judiciary Committee. This bill seeks to enhance coordination among federal, state, local, and railroad law enforcement agencies to combat organized theft operations.

Affected Sectors

Cargo theft affects multiple sectors, including retail, industrial, and supply chain companies. The Association of American Railroads and BNSF Railway are among the stakeholders urging legislative action.

Implications for Shippers and Operators

Shippers and logistics operators should be aware of the increased risks and costs associated with cargo theft. Enhanced security measures and collaboration with law enforcement are recommended.

"In recent years, these crimes have also become more violent, increasing the risks faced by workers, law enforcement, and the communities they serve," the coalition's letter states.

Watch List

Senate Judiciary Committee: Monitor the progress of the bill.
Cargo Theft Trends: Stay updated on theft patterns and hotspots.

U.S. Domestic Intermodal Volumes Surge 13% in June, J.B. Hunt Reports Record Q2

Hunt reported record intermodal volumes in Q2, with loads up 10% y/y, as a 30% cost advantage over truckload drives conversion activity at levels not seen in over a decade.
