Overhaul expands exclusive partnership with BNSF to strengthen freight security across its network

Alliance offers 99.9% protection for monitored customer freight

Overhaul, the global leader in in-time risk monitoring and cargo security protection announced an expanded partnership with BNSF Railway, one of North America’s leading freight transportation providers. The exclusive partnership builds upon nearly a decade of collaboration to strengthen supply chain security for customers.

The collaboration seamlessly connects BNSF’s networkwide security technology and police department with Overhaul’s real-time risk intelligence teams, helping to identify potential risks earlier, improve coordination and support the secure movement of customer freight across BNSF’s 32,500-mile network.

As Overhaul’s exclusive railroad partner, BNSF customers receive access to a level of integrated shipment intelligence and security coordination not available through any other railroad. Overhaul maintains a 99.9% shipment protection rate for monitored freight, combining real-time visibility, verified intelligence, and active risk management to help prevent cargo loss before it occurs.

“Working with Overhaul’s verified intelligence advances our prevention-first approach to supply chain security,” said Chief Special Agent and Assistant Vice President of BNSF Police Will Johnson. “Our teams have built a deep foundation of trust over the years, and this partnership strengthens our ability to take informed action and uphold rail as the most secure mode of freight transportation by land.”

“Cargo crime has become increasingly organized and data-driven, which means prevention requires coordinated intelligence and a trusted response framework,” said Overhaul Co-Founder and CEO Barry Conlon. “Overhaul continues to work closely with BNSF to maintain a shared mission to protect freight in motion by identifying risks earlier, validating threats faster, and deploying preventative action long before cargo loss occurs.”

Key benefits of the partnership

The exclusive partnership integrates Overhaul’s services with the scale, authority, and unique law enforcement capabilities of the BNSF Police Department by:

• Direct Overhaul-to-BNSF integration for faster incident detection and intervention, measured in seconds, not hours.
• Verified, shared intelligence: Continuously monitoring intermodal shipments for early indicators of tampering, fraud, or organized crime patterns. Verified and proprietary threat signals are shared directly and immediately with BNSF, enabling earlier intervention, more strategic agent deployment, and seamless coordination with multiple jurisdictions from a single source of truth.
• Coordinated multistate response: BNSF special agents coordinate across jurisdictions with local, state, and federal partners, supported by BNSF Resource Operations Call Center (ROCC) communications specialists, who maintain around-the-clock situational awareness, working in real time with Overhaul’s Global Security Operations personnel.

“Protecting customer shipments is a longstanding BNSF commitment,” said BNSF Group Vice President of Consumer Products Jon Gabriel. “This partnership combines advanced tools with the expertise of our people to further safeguard freight and reduce disruptions to our customers’ operations.”
