One way to mitigate your cargo theft risk – utilize Intermodal!

99.98% of CPKC cargo in Mexico moves without security incident, as it does in the United States.

Trailer Theft and Cargo Disappearance in Mexico has historically been one of the biggest pain points for U.S. shippers and their cross-border logistics service providers who are receiving international raw materials through Mexico and/or manufacturing in Mexico.

With nearshoring continuing to amplify and trade between the United States and Mexico increasing at record rates cross-border risk management has gone from an afterthought in international distribution network optimization models, to the very heart and soul of every CEO and Risk Manager that participates in trade with Mexico.

Schneider Intermodal takes a multi-layered security approach to reduce cargo risk for cross-border freight. Some of those actions include:

Positioning loads in the bottom of the well car with containers on top

C-TPAT certification, and all paperwork being filed prior to the load leaving, enabling it to keep moving through the border

Working with a cross-border Intermodal carrier that takes security seriously and has their own multi-layered security approach
