Cargo theft has taken center stage recently, especially following the high-profile disappearance of Santo Tequila loads tied to Guy Fieri and Sammy Hagar. This renewed focus on freight security is pushing the industry to seek smarter solutions. Enter Curtis Spencer, CEO of Bloodhound Tracking Device, who joined us on The Intermodal Logistics Podcast to shed light on the issue.
Curtis shares that Bloodhound’s origins trace back to post-9/11 efforts, when federal agencies began reimagining supply chain security and sought better ways to track shipments. Leveraging the expertise of former NASA engineers, Bloodhound evolved to address theft prevention as its top priority—going beyond monitoring for suspicious freight. Curtis explains how the Bloodhound system tracks real-time location, temperature, and tampering, all with an exceptionally long-lasting battery and a discreet design that makes it hard for criminals to detect.
He even walks us through how deploying his technology could have seriously complicated the recently reported tequila heist. Beyond Bloodhound, Curtis also discusses his work at IMS Worldwide, where demand for establishing Foreign Trade Zones (FTZs) is surging in response to this year’s tariff volatility and accelerated inventory strategies.
