New Trucker Path feature helps drivers steer clear of high-risk cargo theft locations
Trucker Path app users have access to new information to help them identify locations where they are at high risk for cargo theft.
On June 23, 2026, Trucker Path announced a partnership with Verisk CargoNet to add cargo theft trend data into Trucker Path Navigation.
The following new cargo theft features are currently live on the app:
- Theft Risk Rating per county (rated Low, Medium and High Risk)
- Total stolen vehicles count (updated monthly)
- Most stolen commodity categories (e.g., Household, Food & Beverage, Vehicle Accessories)
- Common theft subtypes (e.g., Cargo Only, Full Truck, Trailer)
- The ability to filter by risk severity (High, Medium, Low) to focus on and potentially avoid highest-risk segments
Verisk provides cargo theft prevention and recovery data. According to the company:
- California, Texas, and New Jersey were the top targeted states, accounting for more than half of all cargo theft activity in Q1 2026
- Theft activity is heavily concentrated in high-traffic logistics environments, with warehouse/distribution centers and truck stops among the most common incident locations
“Cargo security continues to be a growing concern for fleets and drivers,” said Chris Oliver, CMO at Trucker Path. “By incorporating a Verisk CargoNet theft cloud overlay in Trucker Path, drivers will instantly know when they’re in high theft areas. That level of heightened awareness will lead to proactive deterrence.”
“Cargo theft insights can help transportation companies reduce exposure to theft and improve safety for drivers,” said Ryan Shepherd, general manager of Verisk CargoNet. “Theft risk is increasingly tied to specific locations and operational environments, particularly in high-density logistics regions and common stop points along freight routes. Integrating this data directly into navigation tools helps close a critical visibility gap for drivers and fleet operators.”
