Do you check trailer seals or just drive the perimeter?

We check seals. A perimeter-only pass tells you the fence looked fine; a seal check tells you whether a load was opened, and the logged seal number plus timestamp narrows any discrepancy to a specific window. That is the difference between a report and evidence.

How do you stop catalytic converter theft from our fleet?

Randomized timing and visible presence in the far rows, which is where it happens. We also document lighting gaps and blind rows in the monthly summary — most yards can cut their exposure substantially with a lighting change we identify in the first month of reports.

Can you respond to alarms at our facility overnight?

Yes. Alarm response is a standard add-on. An officer clears the exterior, verifies the point of entry, documents with photos, and coordinates with police and your on-call contact — usually faster than a manager driving in at 3 a.m.

What size yard justifies a standing post over patrol?

Roughly: if the yard holds high-value loads continuously, or if a single incident would exceed a month of standing-post cost, a post is the cheaper choice. Otherwise randomized patrol with seal verification is where most operations should start.

What we have learned about overnight warehouse and yard vehicle patrol

Yard loss is quiet. Nobody kicks in a warehouse door — they cut a fence panel behind a trailer row, walk a fuel line, or pop a seal on a parked trailer and leave it looking closed. The morning crew finds it hours later, and by then there is no timeline. Our yard patrols check seal integrity trailer by trailer, not just the perimeter, and log the seal number with the timestamp so a discrepancy has a window attached to it.

The other half is fleet. Catalytic converter and fuel theft happen on the vehicles parked furthest from the building, in the rows where a work light will not be seen from the office. We route the passes so those rows are hit at genuinely unpredictable intervals, and we photograph the row on each pass so a claim has documentation instead of an estimate.
