Special Cargo Security

It would be great if we could ship cargo off to its destination while secure in the knowledge that your cargo arrives safely to its destination. Unfortunately, there is a disparity between your wants and the reality of our uncertain times. It has become necessary to procure outside security services to make certain that cargo arrives securely. Issues such as theft, damage, acts of terrorism, and piracy influence customer relations and return on investment adversely. If it happens often enough, customers get discouraged and will look for other sources to stock their inventory despite the fact that you were not at fault for the delay.

Cargo security services monitor the shipment from the time that the freight departs the warehouse and are transported to the agent’s premises. Security services monitor cargo electronically, confirm quantity, report to clients using software that allows real-time tracking, request warehouse positioning to eliminate theft and damage, and arrange for the storage facilities.

Armed security escorts can also be secured to escort distribution trucks, sea freight, and cargo in transit. This service can be used to identify possible dangers, for high value cargo, which travels either internationally or nationally.

The trucking industry is helping to implement a standard of excellence by promoting training for the (CCSP) Certified Cargo Security Professional in the hopes of helping to promote the security of freight in Northern America. Individuals that study for this certification receive comprehensive training in security issues, which aids them in the understanding of vulnerabilities in supply chain management, evaluate and employ the proper resources to secure cargo in transit from the warehouse facilities to its final destination.
