Transportation loss is a multi billion dollar global problem
The US Contribution to the Billion Dollar NUMBER
Whether we agree that cargo theft is between *$15B-
$30B or not, at the end of the day we would still react
accordingly and work toward managing this “defect”
*Resource: http://www.fbi.gov/news/stories/2006/july/cargo_theft072106
$15B-$30B
What continues to be the problem?
Heavy consultant arena
The solution providers area is very deep by vertical (seals, CCTV, telematics ,data
aggregation, routing engines, etc.)
Law enforcement funding
Task forces are continuing to lose funding and growing concern that we may begin to see
more of what happened in Miami w/ the T.O.M.C.A.T.S. (disbanded)
Fragmented data/information
There are multiple databases that hold specific data elements but not all hold everything
that is needed for complete connectivity. In addition, information sharing still has its
roadblocks (re: complete transparency of data sharing)
Legislation/Penalties
Today the incarceration time for stealing a $2MM cell phone shipment is far less than the
average bank robbery of $3.5M

Retailer’s Challenges
• We don’t all have our own fleets (tractors). We use third party
trucking companies and their drivers or owner operators as drivers.
• Selection becomes key.
• We move goods in every possible way and mode from every possible
location in the world to get to our customers’ doorsteps.
• Air, Water, land
• FCL,FTL,LCL,LTL, Parcel
• Multiple Continents and multi-continent consolidation.
The
“Big 2”
For discussion purposes, lets assume we are all on USA mother
soil ONLY and we are moving our shipments on land ONLY:
Type of freight that is being moved (commodity or novelty)
• Usually the Routing systems are focused on cube, cartons and weight and not product profile or total cost.
(fragrance vs apparel)
• Usually the ship windows are too wide to the ETA windows are too flexible.
Mode Selection (Full truck load, less than truck load, parcel)
• There is a vast difference between FTL vs LTL as there is an increase in touches.
Indemnification and Liability (vendor <=> carrier <=> retailer)
• There continues to be a discussion around who owns the claim when there is a variance w/ shortages that
make up more of the lost dollars in the market than actual full truckload losses.
• Purchase order information (denotes payment terms to offset liability).

For discussion purposes, lets assume we are all on USA mother
soil ONLY and we are moving our shipments on land ONLY:
Origin and destination assessment (Lanes)
• Usually the procurement or transportation departments focus on cost vs. risk
• Usually we are not pulled into the discussion
• Usually there is NOT a supply chain asset protection department in our enterprise
Tender selection (driver & carrier)
• We are not engaged in vetting drivers as that falls under the carrier(s)
• We have to ensure our best practices are not misinterpreted as direction (co-employment call out)
• We are usually NOT part of the carrier contract negotiations and selection
We need to see it all
and make better decisions
• Lets acknowledge that we can’t go wide and deep on everything that is
retail.
• Let’s acknowledge that we need to continue to learn to maximize our data
and the data feeds that can assist us.
• Let’s acknowledge that there are strategic partners that have a very deep
understanding of specific verticals we would like to master.
• Let’s acknowledge that there are providers outside of our wheel house
that have access to, “what we don’t know that we don’t know”.

them together to solve a wide problem vs. a deep problem
• Continue to cross pollinate by bringing in talent from other
departments and industries
• Continue to be the innovators within our enterprise
• Become the forced multiplier for share holder value for our
organizations
