Cargo theft isn't a back-of-mind risk anymore — it's a $725 million problem.



In 2025, estimated losses from freight theft surged 60% over the prior year, with the average stolen load valued at nearly $274,000. Criminals aren't smash-and-grabbing trailers at rest stops anymore. Today's theft rings use identity fraud, counterfeit paperwork, and double-brokering schemes to misdirect entire truckloads — and shippers working with the wrong partners often don't know they've been hit until the delivery window has already passed.



At Silk Route Freight Brokerage, protecting your freight is built into how we operate — not bolted on as an afterthought.



Every carrier in our network is verified against FMCSA records, cross-checked through carrier vetting platforms, and screened for safety history before we assign a single load. We work with established, trusted carriers who have proven track records — not whoever posted cheapest on a load board. And once your freight is moving, we monitor it. Route deviations, unexpected stops, delivery windows — we stay on top of it so you don't have to.


Stay vigilant and secure your belongings to avoid falling victim to theft.
