As freight fraud continues to surge across the logistics sector, ITF Group is ramping up its security and service capabilities with a major expansion of its nationwide drop trailer program. The company has grown its fleet to more than 2,000 drop trailers and plans to add another 1,000 by 2025—positioning itself as both a logistics innovator and a freight security leader.

Cargo theft has risen by a staggering 1,500% since 2020, according to CargoNet, with electronics, food, and beverages remaining high-value targets. In response, ITF Group is deploying advanced security measures that span both physical and cyber domains.

“Security is at the core of everything we do,” said Sam Burkhan, CEO of ITF Group. “We’re combining real-time GPS tracking, covert route planning, and 24/7 load monitoring with robust cybersecurity protocols and smarter carrier vetting to protect every shipment.”

Every ITF trailer includes visible and hidden GPS trackers, cargo sensors, air-inflated tires, and door alert systems. For sensitive shipments, the company adds further protections such as armed escorts and layered monitoring. It has also strengthened its fraud prevention partnerships with CargoNet, MyCarrierPacket, and Highway.

Efficiency is another driving force behind the expansion. The drop trailer program allows shippers to load freight on their own schedule, helping reduce congestion at docks and maintain supply chain fluidity during labor shortages or delays. ITF Group can now deploy up to 12 trailers within 48 hours anywhere in the U.S., or up to 20 for priority clients, with every trailer fully integrated into the company’s transportation management system (TMS).

“Freight fraud doesn’t just affect businesses—it disrupts everyday lives,” Burkhan added. “Our investments are about protecting freight, streamlining logistics, and making sure families can find what they need on store shelves.”

Looking ahead, ITF Group is preparing to expand its drop trailer operations into Mexico, aiming to eliminate costly transloading and enhance cross-border shipping efficiency.
