Rise in stolen trucking shipments affects Illinois’ supply chain – Center Square

Fleet security company CargoNet said Illinois, California and Texas account for over 60 percent of the heists during the first quarter of this year. “Last year, I thought it was the worst it was going to get,” said Mike Kucharski, of of JKC Trucking in Chicago. “Cargo theft was up 57 percent in the fourth quarter, and now during the first quarter they’re reporting it's up another 46 percent. It’s crazy.”
