Learn how to qualify the new cold chain lanes pharma reshoring creates, and why a summer and a winter of real shipment data beats a one-time thermal study.

Tive's 2026 survey of 442 supply chain leaders looks at what helps prevent and recover cargo theft, and where AI fits in.

Learn how cargo theft rings buy clean identities from bankrupt trucking fleets, why tender-time vetting clears them, and what gives them away after pickup.

Diesel prices hit a record $6.529 in September, per EIA, and are still above $6, making cycle mode worth about $22 a trailer a day to whoever buys the fuel.

Say a $400,000 load of electronics gets stolen in mid-November somewhere between Southern California and Ohio. Pricing that loss honestly comes down to five questions.

If a pitcher got to call the strike zone, every borderline pitch would somehow catch the corner. Freight has built a surprisingly similar system around carrier data.

Calculate what one degree costs in cold chain logistics: where excursions really start, why handoffs hide them, and how to turn precision into margin.

Discover why supply chain visibility alone no longer protects cold chain loads, and 5 gaps costing shippers rejected freight, claims, and OTIF penalties.

Stop treating the status call as routine. Every one is a blind spot reporting itself. Learn where cold chain risk really begins and how to close it early.
