Theft of trailers and theft from trailers have always had a negative impact on the bottom-line.  There are recent developments that make tracking and security even more important.

 Many cargo insurance policies may limit or deny coverage for certain classes of products, for operations in specific geographical areas AND for trailers that will be left unattended.

Another emerging reason for the increase value of trailer tracking and container security is the Department of Homeland Security.

Here is what the Department of Homeland Security says regarding trailer tracking and container security:

“ From the direct action group process other groups have been formed to tackle very specific security issues. Among these is the Container Working Group - established through the NISC in December. The Container Working Group is tasked with providing recommendations to improve the secure movement of the six million marine containers that enter our nation's port and the eleven million trucks and rail containers that cross the Mexican and Canadian borders into America each year.

The Container Working group is co-chaired with the U.S. Customs Service and includes representatives from the Departments of Defense Energy Commerce Justice Agriculture Health and Human Services (FDA) and others. The group has oversight from the Office of Homeland Security.

In order to address individual aspects of container security four subgroups of the Container Working Group are studying information systems security technologies business practices and international affairs. The subgroups are making every effort to provide recommendations that improve security - but at the same time - ensure safety and efficiency in our intermodal transportation system. The Container Working Group issued its first initial report to the Office of Homeland Security on February 1st of this year.

On the front lines of container security is the U.S. Customs Service as well as other federal agencies and the Container Working Group is studying technologies and business practices that will enable Customs and others to prevent high-risk containers from entering the United States or to ensure that they are properly inspected before they pose a threat to the United States. Although the Customs Service utilizes a thoughtful risk-based selection method preventing a container from being used as a weapon requires a more complex strategy enhancing the non-intrusive inspection technology and information used for selection. We are very supportive of the new Customs Container Security Initiative because it builds upon previous work with our international trading partners to improve container security throughout the world's global supply chain.
