Yard security for San Bernardino's freight hubs
Rail, air and freeway freight all meet in San Bernardino. Sigma watches the yards around them remotely, 24/7, 365 days a year, holidays included.
Local and live
Rail, air and freeway freight in one city
San Bernardino hosts BNSF's intermodal yard, which BNSF describes as sitting in the middle of the Inland Empire industrial market, with direct service to Chicago. In the east of the city, the former Norton Air Force Base is now San Bernardino International Airport, where an air cargo sorting hub of nearly 660,000 square feet operates. Interstate 10, I-215 and SR-210 meet in the city, and I-215 continues north to rejoin I-15 near Devore.
Containers, chassis and trailers wait around these hubs between moves, and long holiday weekends leave many yards with no one on site. Verisk CargoNet's Memorial Day analysis of 2020 to 2024 found that San Bernardino and Los Angeles counties, along with Dallas County in Texas, had the highest concentration of holiday theft events. Its review of the July 4 holiday week from 2021 to 2025 named the same two California counties among the most common locations for cargo theft.
Sigma's coverage doesn't change on holidays: live agents watch San Bernardino sites 24/7, 365 days a year. AI person and vehicle detection flags movement among parked units, and agents give a live, instant talk-down through the site's speakers and escalate to police or fire. Yard checks, including damage inspections, visual seal checks on video and parking reports, show what changed while the yard was closed.
On the record: Verisk CargoNet's five-year review of the December 23 to January 2 holiday window found that San Bernardino County and Los Angeles County, along with Shelby County, Tennessee, had the highest concentrations of cargo theft activity.
