Cargo theft remains at an all-time high within the U.S. as foreign and domestic criminal organizations use evolving strategies ranging from cyber-attacks to corporate identity theft  to steal shipments without detection. Senator Young (R-IN) has introduced the SAFER Transport Act (S. 3950) to address cargo theft and strategic fraud. This legislation aims to do this by:

• Limiting the operation of foreign dispatch services in the U.S. supply chain
• Establishing a cargo advisory committee that will include brokers
• Requiring coordination between DOT and DOJ to combat cargo theft
• Enact motor carrier registration reform to better protect the supply chain, including increased penalties for fraudulent information submission, and
• Improving driver training registry and licensing requirements to enhance the safety of the traveling public
