ARL Logistics

Earlier in the year, Section 232 tariffs hit 50% on copper and aluminum articles, 25% on derivatives.

If you manufacture electrical components, HVAC systems, construction materials, or industrial equipment, this is a daily operating cost now.

The manufacturers absorbing it best have done a few things:
→ Rerouted sourcing through ports with faster drayage infrastructure
→ Increased domestic warehouse positioning to reduce import frequency
→ Moved from just-in-time to strategic buffer stock near their facilities

The freight strategy around metal sourcing has to change when the tariff math changes.

ARL moves copper and aluminum freight — coils, sheet, structural components — via flatbed, drayage, and warehousing. If your supply chain for these materials needs a rethink, we should talk.

How has your operation adjusted to the tariff changes?

Cargo theft represents just 0.0036% of freight.

It sounds small. It isn't.

Experts estimate that only 10–15% of incidents ever get reported. When you account for the real exposure, the number climbs to somewhere between $40–60 billion annually , and that's before recovery costs, rising insurance premiums, and damaged customer relationships are factored in.

The financial impact isn't just the value of the stolen load. It's multiples of it.

At ARL Network, we combine advanced visibility technology, rigorous carrier vetting, and real-time shipment tracking to actively protect your cargo at every stage of its journey, because the trust our shipper partners place in us with every load is something we take seriously.
