The Overhaul Overview: Outsmart cargo-theft risk over the Memorial Day weekend
Hi all,
In this month’s edition of Overhaul Overview, we welcome a new team member to the Overhaul family, touch on potential cargo-theft concerns as Memorial Day approaches, and a little surprise at the end.
Prepare for upcoming holiday delays
Historically, holiday weekends can see theft rates double when compared to non-holidays. Thieves know that cargo will be left unattended for extended durations during this time and will use the opportunity to obtain targeted and high-value merchandise.??
Overhaul recommends shippers should confirm in advance if the receiver’s hours of operation will be affected by the holiday and adjust any schedules as needed to avoid unnecessary staging. For over-the-road shipments, any stops made over the holiday period should be in well-lit, secured areas with trailer doors backed to a solid surface, if possible, while facilities should ensure all security systems are functioning properly.?
Pat Flynn-Cherenzia joins Overhaul
We are so excited to welcome Pat Flynn-Cherenzia to the Overhaul team! Pat has more than 30 years of supply chain experience under her belt, having been most recently with Microsoft overseeing the development and deployment of its Dynamics 365 supply chain solution.??
“During a period of tremendous growth for Overhaul, we couldn’t be more thrilled to add Pat to our team to help us continue to innovate and break barriers in supply chain technology,” said Barry Conlon, CEO, and founder of Overhaul. “Her deep-rooted knowledge of the global supply chain landscape will be invaluable to our team and customers, and I look forward to the many ways Pat’s expertise will undoubtedly propel our company forward.”

“I would start with supply chain risk management and use the insights to communicate status updates up and downstream proactively," recommends Amy. "Leveraging data for transparency, visibility, and situational risk-management - and incorporating these things using real-time data - will reduce risk in the supply chain, which is what we’re trying to do - whether that's the risk of theft or a failure of temperature control. The ultimate goal is to deliver safe and effective products.” Read more
