As cargo theft runs wild, here’s how central Ohio companies are responding

COLUMBUS, Ohio (COLUMBUS BUSINESS FIRST) — When a couple of truckloads of product went missing in early 2023, Andrew Lynch was shocked.

His company, Zipline Logistics, prides itself on its qualification and vetting process – and the carrier that day had passed the test.

Still, instead of bringing the product to its intended customer, the truckloads ended up in “some random warehouse” in California, Lynch said.

“We’ve booked this carrier 50, 60, 100 times over the last two years – we’ve done billions of dollars worth of business with them and never had a complaint,” Lynch said. “And suddenly, in a snap, there’s hundreds of thousands of dollars in freight missing.”
