Coverage for shipments at rest and in motion, from port gates through staging yards to the corridor beyond.

Cargo crime is organized, patient, and informed: crews that know which loads matter, where they sit overnight, and which yards check seals against paperwork versus which just count trucks. The freight moving through the Baltimore-Washington corridor and the region’s port complex sits squarely in that economy’s territory. OPPS provides cargo security services across Maryland, Virginia, and Delaware built around how theft actually happens: at rest, in staging, and at the handoffs where accountability blurs.
Our freight protection security covers the full picture: secured yard coverage, seal verification against documentation, high-value shipment details, and escort operations, including secured military equipment transfers and emergency escorts into the Port of Baltimore that anchor our record.
Freight is rarely stolen from a moving truck. It is stolen from unattended trailers, quiet staging yards, and weekend drop lots, the places where cargo waits. Our coverage concentrates exactly there: patrols through trailer rows, seal checks on schedule, and presence during the overnight and weekend windows theft crews prefer.
Supply chain security runs on chain of custody, and so do we. Seals verified against manifests, discrepancies documented the moment they are found, and handoffs recorded cleanly, because when a claim or investigation comes, the record we kept is the record that decides it.
We map your cargo’s actual journey through our coverage area: where it enters, where it stages, how long it dwells, which loads carry the risk profile that draws professional attention, and where your current visibility ends. From that map comes layered protection: yard coverage with patrol patterns that do not telegraph themselves, seal and documentation verification at entry and exit, dedicated details for high-value loads, and escort capability for the movements that warrant it.
Our escort record covers the demanding end of the spectrum: high-value military equipment secured through restricted port areas prior to overseas shipment, and emergency escort into the Port of Baltimore during a snowstorm so hazardous material response could begin. Freight protection at that level is planning, credentials, and composure, and it is the same discipline we bring to a trailer yard on a Tuesday night.

FAQs
Everything from general freight in staging yards to high-value and sensitive shipments, including our record-securing military equipment transfers through restricted port areas. Coverage scales to the load’s actual risk profile.
At rest: overnight dwell, weekend staging, and unattended drop lots, plus the handoff points where custody transfers. Our coverage concentrates on those windows rather than spreading evenly across hours that carry no risk.
Yes, from routine secured movements to emergency operations. Our escorts have brought hazmat response into the Port of Baltimore through a snowstorm, and priority freight through restricted areas on tight vessel windows.
Yes. We work within your seal protocols, custody documentation, and carrier requirements, adding the physical coverage layer your program currently lacks, and flagging the procedural gaps we find along the way.
