Help protect your freight and yourself through proper planning. Follow these simple steps:
- Make yourself aware of high-theft areas.
- Drive a minimum of 4 hours or 150 miles or more from a high-risk site before stopping.
- When you do stop for fuel or rest, pay attention to the other vehicles and people
in the area. Report suspicious vehicles to law enforcement agencies.
- Park in well-lit areas and back your trailer against a fence, door or wall.
- Seal the load and document the seal number on the bill of lading, then have the
shipper sign at origin.
- Use kingpin and trailer locks to protect your equipment and an air-cuff lock applied
to your air valves.
- Make the required check calls via Interactive Voice Response (IVR) at 800-972-9490
and follow the prompts.
Remember……
A load at rest is a load at risk!!
