Malcolm and The Dude dissect recent CargoNet reports regarding Labor Day cargo theft spikes, questioning the data manipulation versus real-world risk.

They explain how real-time aerial data is helping solve the nationwide truck parking crisis—starting with critical trade routes between Detroit and Windsor, Canada. Guy Yehiav (President of SmartSense) breaks down the physical and digital vulnerabilities in today's supply chains.
