Lane Stack
by MTC Group
A fictitious carrier can clear your dock with clean paperwork and a legitimate signature. One layer can fail. Every added layer is one more a thief has to beat.
Lane Stack is one freight security program, from carrier vetting and dock policy through embedded GPS, one GSOC and response on the lane, delivered within your existing security budget. Buyer side first.
Technology launches soon.Enrollment is open now.
Thirty minutes to select the first lane.
What one fictitious pickup costs.
Average value per cargo theft. Verisk CargoNet, 2025.
Multiple layers of protection. One accountable partner.
Every layer reports to one screen in real time, so a fictitious carrier has to defeat every layer at once.

I designed and ran this program at SAIA, CEVA Logistics and Crane Worldwide. The last one protected 240,000 high-value shipments a year. Lane Stack delivers it as one product, with one accountable point of contact.

The proof
At Crane Worldwide I secured 20,000 high-value shipments a month across global lanes. At SAIA I secured 171 terminals and held the guard budget at its 2012 level and redeployed the savings into layers. Running cross-docks and yards? See 3PL security. Need cameras on the same site?

Common questions
Cargo theft FAQs
What are the consequences of cargo theft?
The claim, a lost customer, a higher insurance renewal and the hours your team spends on the paperwork. The average loss per theft is $273,990, according to Verisk CargoNet.
How does GPS tracking help recover a stolen load?
An embedded tracker reports where the freight is, even after the trailer is swapped or the load is split. That gives law enforcement a live location instead of a last known one.
What does cargo claims prevention training cover?
Pickup verification, seal and dock procedures, and driver rules on the road, built to the TAPA standards and to your lanes.
What are the TAPA standards?
TAPA, the Transported Asset Protection Association, publishes the security standards the freight industry audits against: the Facility Security Requirements (FSR) for buildings and the Trucking Security Requirements (TSR) for freight on the road. We benchmark your program to both.
Where do we start?
One lane or one site. Bring the one that costs you the most to the Strategy Call. You leave with what it costs now, what changes, and when it pays back.
What is Lane Stack?
Lane Stack by MTC Group is our freight security program: multiple layers on every load, embedded GPS tracking, live monitoring from a GSOC, carrier vetting at tender, exception triage and claims follow-through, run by AI agents that report to one screen. The program, the agents and the board-level funding case are included with the tracking you buy.
What does the average cargo theft cost?
$273,990 per theft in 2025, up 36% from $202,364 the year before, according to Verisk CargoNet. Reported losses reached $725 million, up 60%, across 2,646 confirmed thefts, up 18%.
What is included when I buy Lane Stack?
The set-up of the program, the written procedures, the AI agents, the training and the funding case for your board, all included with the tracking and monitoring you buy. A subject matter expert to write policy for you is consulting and is separate.
What is cargo theft prevention?
The layers that stop a load being taken and get it back when it is: carrier vetting before the tender is accepted, embedded GPS on the freight, live monitoring that escalates the real exception, and a claims process that recovers what insurance would otherwise absorb.
