Level5Fleet expanded its Admiral platform, enabling every participant in the freight ecosystem to prevent modern cargo theft, whether or not they control physical equipment.
Admiral is known for physical enforcement on trailers and containers, where authorization rules are embedded directly on the asset: who is authorized, where access is permitted, and when access is valid. If authorization is valid, access works. If it isn’t, doors remain locked and brakes remain engaged.
“In freight operations, strategic theft refers to cargo theft that occurs after access, pickup, or routing changes are approved, often through impersonation or manipulated exceptions rather than forced entry,” says Peter Stroud, COO of Level5Fleet. “The industry already has tools to assess whether a company is legitimate and reputable. The gap appears at execution. Admiral Resolve helps teams verify that the person making a request is who they claim to be, is acting on behalf of the expected company, and has authorization to make that specific change to that specific load. Resolve decides. Enforce makes it real. Execute scales it.”
Key takeaways:
· Before authorizing a pickup, access, or change, Admiral now enables teams to verify who is making the request, see what they are allowed to do and record what is approved.
· When working with Admiral-enabled carriers, those authorization decisions propagate directly to the asset, extending protection to prevent traditional theft as well.
· Admiral now operates as three interoperable layers, each giving participants control at their point of responsibility.
· Admiral Resolve lets shippers, carriers, and brokers verify requesters, confirm authorization, and record approvals before freight moves.
· Admiral Enforce propagates approved decisions to the asset, embedding authorization rules directly on equipment so doors stay locked and movement is immobilized unless access is valid.
· Admiral Execute automates operational workflows on top of enforced decisions, so check-ins, appointments, and handoffs happen automatically and supervision becomes audit, not action.
