Watch every dock door and every trailer in the yard.
Cargo theft in Southern California is organized and fast — a loaded trailer can be gone in minutes. We monitor dock doors, yard perimeters and gates continuously, verify drivers after hours, and dispatch response while the trailer is still on your lot.
Logistics losses we see most often
The majority happen in a short window between the last shift and the first.
Trailer & cargo theft
Loaded trailers towed out by a bobtail, or containers opened at the far end of the yard where lighting is weakest.
Dock-door entry
Pry attempts on dock doors and man doors after the night shift, often by people who watched the schedule.
Unauthorized drivers
Drivers arriving outside their window, swapping trailers or sitting in the yard for hours.
Fuel, batteries & converters
Yard trucks and the fleet lose fuel, batteries and catalytic converters along the fence.
How we cover a logistics site
Perimeter and gate first, then the trailer rows and every dock door.
- Yard perimeter with line-crossing on the fence and back corners
- Gate dwell and driver verification against your appointment list
- Trailer-row zones with vehicle-dwell alerts (bobtail tow detection)
- Dock-door and man-door approach zones after shift end
- LPR at the gate for a searchable record of every tractor in and out
Sample layout — your plan is drawn from a site walk and your existing camera positions.
A weeknight at a distribution center in Carson
Dock, trailer-row and perimeter zones arm. Operator confirms 24 dock doors closed on camera; one left open — supervisor called, door closed.
Driver says he is early for a 05:00 pickup. Operator verifies with the dispatcher list, holds him outside the gate; he waits on the street.
Vehicle-dwell alert. Operator verifies — no appointment, lights off. Live audio warning, plate captured; bobtail leaves without a trailer.
VSS response unit checks the row; plate forwarded to the client for the police report.
Analytics flag a person cutting through the far corner. Warning issued; subject leaves. Fence repair flagged.
Four events, two interventions, one plate for the police report, one fence item.

Yes. We work from a shared list or an export from your TMS, and can open the gate remotely for verified drivers.
That is normal for distribution sites. Analytics filter the volume, and operators only see verified people and vehicles in armed zones.
Many carriers recognize monitored, documented yard security. We provide the program description and incident records your broker asks for.
