Safeguarding shipments
['Transportation Security']

- Motor carriers should use several security practices to ensure cargo safety.
Safeguarding a shipment begins before the driver and truck even reach the shipper. Security practices include:
- Planning for a safe route and stops,
- Watching for suspicious activity,
- Using security seal devices, and
- Having an attention to detail.
Until the load reaches the receiver, and its integrity is verified, the driver and motor carrier must ensure the supply chain is secured.
