NILES, Ill.--(Business Wire)--
AFN, a recognized leader in cargo theft prevention and third-party logistics
services, announces its membership in the CargoNet program (www.CargoNet.com). 

"We are pleased to work with a notable organization such as CargoNet," said
Jared Palmer, AFN`s general counsel and member of the CargoNet Advisory Board.
According to Palmer, "The systems and analytical tools provided by CargoNet are
second to none. CargoNet offers services vital to the supply chain, insurance,

experts. CargoNet exploits the weakness of cargo thieves at multiple points in
the supply chain by leveraging integrated databases and a layered system of
anti-theft systems, including a theft alert system; task force and
investigations support; a tractor/trailer theft deterrence program; the
TruckStopWatch program; driver education and incentives; secondary-market
monitoring and interdictions; crime trend analysis and loss control services;
