Indiana Senator featured in documentary on cargo theft

  • Senator Todd Young of Indiana was featured in a documentary highlighting the surge of organized cargo theft in the United States in 2024 and early 2025.
  • This increase stems from well-organized criminal rings exploiting technological gaps and under-resourced agencies to steal valuable shipments with near impunity.
  • Industry experts report cargo theft incidents rose 26% in 2024 to 3,798 events, causing nearly $455 million in reported losses, although many cases remain unreported and the true toll is closer to $1 billion.
  • Senator Young emphasized the FMCSA's inability to remove fraudsters from online shipping systems, saying, “people depend on this website to identify appropriate shippers,” underscoring the problem's impact in e-commerce.
  • As a result, bipartisan bills aim to strengthen federal coordination and penalties, while companies invest heavily in proactive, data-driven security and collaboration to combat cargo theft trends.
