Recovered cargo has to be moved quickly, securely and with a documented chain of custody, often inside a window set by law enforcement. WarehouseNow arranges secure facilities, labor and transport for recovered freight within 15 minutes of the call.
What to do right now
Get the release terms from law enforcement
Who can take custody, when, and what documentation they require. Some agencies give very short windows once a recovery site is cleared.
Document everything
Photos, pallet counts and seal numbers at the recovery site. This record supports the insurance claim and any prosecution.
Call for secure handling
We arrange a secure facility, a crew to load, and transport if the original carrier is unavailable, coordinated to the agency’s timeline.
Inspect, hold, re-deliver or dispose
The facility inspects for damage and tampering, holds the freight securely, and we coordinate re-delivery, return or disposal with the shipper and insurer.
How WarehouseNow helps
In Miami Gardens we cleared 38 stolen pallets inside a ten-minute window set by police. That job is written up in our Freight Intel series. The pattern is the same every time: a secure place to put the freight, a crew that shows up on time, and paperwork that holds up later.
