Cargo Thefts Still High in 2013

Thursday, March 13th, 2014

A little more than 2 and a half truck cargo thefts occurred every day in the United States last year. In 2013, there were 951 thefts, the same number of thefts there were in 2012, which was a record high for the industry. These numbers come from a new FreightWatch International report.

Cargo thieves increasingly targeted trucks carrying pharmaceutical loads (50% increase) and food and drink loads (34% increase, which excludes alcoholic beverage loads). However, while pharmaceuticals only accounted for 4% of all loads stolen, food and drink accounted for 27%. According to FreightWatch, this is because security for food and drink loads is often more lax than for other loads such as electronics.

Still, this hasn’t deterred thieves from going after electronics as well. Electronics accounted for 14% of all loads stolen, and at an average of $397,000 per load, were the highest in average stolen load value.

As far as where and when the most loads were stolen, California and Texas were the top two spots for cargo theft, with 259 and 123 loads stolen respectively. Friday and Saturday were the most popular days for thefts, and June and September were the months with the highest activity.

Traffic Increasing in the United States

Wednesday, March 5th, 2014

The amount of traffic on the nation’s roads is increasing, according to the traffic data firm Inrix. After a decrease in traffic during the recession which began in 2008, traffic is back. Though it may be a burden for motorists, it could also suggest a reviving economy. Traffic congestion grew 6% from 2012 to 2013 after declining from 2010-2012.

Among the top ten most congested cities in the country, only Washington, D.C. saw a decrease in traffic, of just 1%. The rest of the cities in the top ten all saw increases, and four saw double digit increases. The findings were “based on the number of hours the average commuter spends annually stuck in traffic.” Los Angeles, already the most congested city in the U.S., saw an 8.5% increase in traffic. On the east coast, New York had a 9% increase in traffic, and Boston had a whopping 22% increase in traffic.

So what can be done to reduce the traffic? Acording to Inrix president Bryan Mistele, “Optimizing road networks through better technology and data analytics will be the only way to relieve congestion as the economy recovers in the near term.”
