Remote truck yard monitoring in Laredo
Live agents and AI cameras watch Laredo truck yards, trailer lots and warehouses around the clock, run gates remotely and check trailers on video before they roll out.
Local and live
Where I-35 meets the border
Laredo is the busiest inland port on the US-Mexico border. The Laredo Economic Development Corporation counts more than $354 billion in imports and exports through the Port of Laredo in 2025, and the Texas Comptroller recorded 3,026,632 trucks crossing there in 2024, with vehicle parts and machinery the top commodities by value. Trucks cross at the World Trade Bridge, which carries commercial traffic exclusively and ties into Loop 20, I-69W and US 59, and at the Colombia Solidarity bridge in northwest Webb County, reached by State Highway 255 and FM 1472.
The local economy runs on commercial and industrial warehousing, import and export. The development corporation notes that Laredo's industrial parks and logistics centres all sit within five miles of I-35, which starts here and runs north through San Antonio, Austin and Dallas-Fort Worth. Yards here hold tractors and trailers between the crossing and the next leg of the trip, which makes them a target after dark, as a 2024 theft from a yard on San Gabriel Drive showed.
For cross-border yards, Sigma's agents do more than watch for intruders. Yard Operations covers truck and trailer logs, damage inspections and visual seal and lock checks on video for outbound trailers, and Gate Operations checks each driver against your pickup lists before the gate opens. Each check leaves a video record; physical seal handling and customs paperwork stay with your team. After hours, AI person and vehicle detection flags movement, and agents give a live, instant talk-down and call police.
On the record: Laredo police reported that a 2016 Freightliner tractor and a 2022 Wabash trailer, worth nearly $89,000 together, were stolen from a yard in the 8500 block of San Gabriel Drive around midnight on June 12, 2024. The yard's surveillance video showed two men taking them, and an arrest followed in October 2025. Source: KGNS News, Laredo man arrested for tractor-trailer theft (Oct. 28, 2025), 2024

FAQ
Laredo monitoring questions
Can you check trailers before they leave our Laredo yard?
Yes, with Yard Operations. Agents use the yard's cameras for visual seal and lock checks on outbound trailers, damage inspections and truck and trailer logs, and each check is recorded on video. The checks are visual; physical seal handling and paperwork stay with your team.
Can agents handle the gate for drivers who arrive at night?
Yes. Agents see each arrival, speak to the driver through the gate speakers, check ID against your rules, schedules or pickup lists and open the gate remotely. Drivers who aren't on the list are refused and you're notified, and every entry and exit is logged with the time and an image.
