Eyes on Your Freight, Mile by Mile.
Over-the-road chase and observation for high-value freight. A dedicated chase vehicle follows your load from origin to destination, stays in contact with your driver, and documents the whole run. Owned by a service-disabled veteran and run with military discipline.
What You Get on Every Run
A Dedicated Chase Vehicle
An unarmed chase team follows your load and keeps eyes on it from the dock to the destination.
Live Contact
Real-time communication with your driver and dispatch for the length of the run.
A Written Run Report
The route as run, with timing, stops, any deviations and anything worth flagging. It's the record your insurer and your customer will ask for.
Chase is an observation and reporting service: our chase teams follow, observe and report, and do not perform security functions.
How a Run Works

Tell us the origin, destination, cargo and pickup date.
Plan
We plan the route, stops and check-ins against federal and state rules, and staff the run.

Why It Matters
Cargo theft is rising, and shippers are paying attention.
$725M
in reported cargo theft losses in 2025, up 60% from 2024.
$273,990
average value stolen per incident, and climbing.
Rising
Organized groups are using increasingly sophisticated tactics, including carrier impersonation, to target freight nationwide.

Recovery Team
If a high-value load is stolen, our Recovery Team, through our licensed partner, supports the response. Operators with military and law enforcement backgrounds work with police and secure the load once it's recovered.
- Standing by at the recovery scene at law enforcement's direction
- Securing a recovered load, trailer or tractor until it's released and moved
- Guard coverage while cargo is inspected, reloaded or transferred to another truck
- Coordinated with law enforcement: police locate and recover stolen property, and our teams never search for it, confront anyone or take property back themselves
Standby Retainer
A monthly retainer reserves Recovery Team availability for your loads and lanes, with the details worked out ahead of time instead of during a callout.
Per Callout
No contract. Request a team when a load needs one, and we'll confirm availability and quote the deployment before it goes out.
Report a theft to police first: the Recovery Team supports law enforcement and is not an emergency service. If anyone is in danger, call 911.

Common Questions
What areas do you cover?
We're headquartered in Sacramento, with an office in Southern California. We run the lanes listed above, on I-5, I-10, I-20, I-40, I-80 and across the Midwest. If your lane isn't listed, ask us.
How far in advance do you need to book?
More notice means better planning and better pricing, and advance booking is discounted. Same-day and short-notice requests are taken where a team is available, at a surcharge that reflects the reshuffle.
What happens if a load is stolen?
Call the police first, and 911 if anyone is in danger. Then call us: our Recovery Team works with law enforcement and secures the load once police recover it. A standby retainer means the team is already lined up for your lanes.
Do you work with government agencies and primes?
Yes. Our NAICS codes, registrations and teaming details are on our Other Services page. On the contact form, select Government Contract so your request routes correctly.
