What our Members Say About Security
 
 
“To us, company dispatch is a key security element. In exclusive-use trucking, it’s important that our dispatchers direct our drivers where to go, rather than let the drivers make decisions on their own. The dispatchers also have a procedure in place to arrange off-hours access to the warehouse and to ensure that the drivers aren’t left out on the road without proper instructions.”
Andrew Faintych
Exec VP, Atelier 4 Inc., USA
 
 

 

 
 
“Living in safe Singapore wich is only 25 miles long and 19 miles wide, GPS tracking may not be a crucial aspect but ATTITUDE of the driver is what we are looking at. Getting to know each and every one of them and their family, and providing proper training is the key to safe and on-time delivery.”
Dick Chia
President, HeluTrans, Singapore
 
     
 
“The UK has always been a terrorist target, be it the IRA, Red Brigade or Al Qaeda. Increased awareness both on the vehicles and in the office is imperative and each member of staff here has attended a relevant course, not only to improve their observation but also to recognise essential ingredients in bomb manufacture which may be present in cargo. It is very much up to the individual to help fight these security breaches.”
Chris Kneale
Director, Martinspeed Ltd, UK
 
     
 
“We often tell our clients “Whatever you do, don’t draw attention to yourself” during the planning of a project. Although some Museums want to send a “cast of thousands” to the airport when an important shipment is coming or going we encourage them to reduce the numbers and reduce the risk. In terms of security it comes down to “need to know” – and the more people need to know the less secure your arrangements become.”
Kim Powell
Director, International Art Services, Australia
 
     
 
”Surveillance, continual control, and a restricted number of employees with access to the high security areas is the only way to offer a high security level. Nowadays trust is good but control is better!”
Constanze Weber, Artex, Austria
