Warehouse and Cargo Theft in Florida: Where the Losses Actually Happen
Yard control, driver check-in, and covert LP — the layers that stop the losses distributors miss.
Florida is one of the top three states in the U.S. for cargo theft losses. Losses cluster at the yard perimeter, at the dock, and inside the fulfillment shift — and each demands a different countermeasure.
Yard control
Officer at the gate verifying trailer numbers against the manifest before every entry and exit.
GPS-tracked yard trucks and time-stamped seal verification.
Randomized trailer inspections.
Dock supervision
Loading dock officer watching driver check-in, dock door assignments, and load counts.
Video review policy — not just retention, but daily spot-check by an LP supervisor.
Inside shift
Covert LP working the fulfillment floor during high-value shifts.
Bag/personal item policy at exit.
Anonymous tip line with recovery bounty.
Monthly loss report
Recoveries, cases closed, and dollar impact reported to operations leadership. If your vendor can't give you that, they're not doing LP — they're just standing at a door.
