Cargo Theft Prevention Starts at Check-In: What’s New from Conduit
July 30, 2025
Cargo theft is at an all-time high. According to CargoNet, incidents of theft rose 13% in Q2 2025, with reported losses exceeding $128 million. The top target? Warehouses and distribution centers.
That’s no coincidence—today’s theft schemes increasingly rely on document fraud and identity theft to bypass traditional safeguards.
These aren’t opportunistic crimes—they’re sophisticated operations that exploit outdated or manual driver check-in processes. And when it comes to cargo theft prevention, securing your gate is just as important as locking the trailer.
As the threat evolves, facility teams are being asked to do more with the same tools.
That’s why Conduit has added two new features to Driver Check-in that close common security loopholes—and make the process faster and easier for your team. Let’s take a closer look at what’s new.
Driver Check-in Location Validation: Real-Time Location, Real Security
Early or remote driver check-ins create confusion, dock congestion, and—in some cases—open the door to fraud. With this new feature, Conduit now verifies a driver’s physical location before check-in is allowed.
What’s Included:
On-site presence verification: Confirm drivers are physically at your facility during check-in by capturing and validating their real-time GPS location.
Automatic location validation: Flag attempts to check in from outside the yard—or refusals to share location.
Remote check-in prevention: Ensure drivers can only log arrival when they're truly on-site.
Result: Better schedule accuracy, fewer disruptions, and enhanced operational security.
Driver ID Verification: Fast, Frictionless, Fully Secure
Driver fraud is a growing risk—from stolen commercial driver’s license (CDLs) to impersonators using doctored images. Our new feature uses biometric tech and real-time validation to confirm that the person at the gate or in your yard is exactly who they say they are, while eliminating manual processes.
What’s Included:
Automated CDL authentication: Instantly verify CDLs without manual review.
Biometric driver matching: Confirm that the driver checking in matches the photo and information on their CDL using advanced facial recognition technology.
Liveness detection: Ensure drivers are physically present during CDL verification with anti-spoofing technology that prevents photo or video impersonation attempts.
Compliance-ready logs: Meet regulatory requirements and maintain audit trails with easily accessible driver credentials and tamper-proof verification records.
Result: Stronger security, faster processing, and reduced risk exposure at check-in.
Digitize Check-in & Stay One Step Ahead
As cargo theft grows more sophisticated, operations teams need more than clipboards and good instincts—they need smarter tools that keep facilities secure without slowing things down. With Driver Location Validation and Driver ID Verification, Conduit empowers your team to prevent fraud and streamline the entire arrival process.
Security and speed don’t have to be at odds. With these new features, your check-in process can be both airtight and effortless.
