Ranked #1 in Security in temperature controlled shipping
In a time where theft is becoming a serious issue, we are the industry leader in security.
The Cargo Defender Security System, developed by the UACL Validated Refrigerated division in collaboration with StarTrak, sets the standard for safeguarding freight during transit. In response to growing concerns about cargo theft, we've engineered the ultimate security solution to ensure the safety and security of your products throughout the shipping process.
Furthermore, our stringent Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) for drivers and operations serve as an additional layer of protection. Each SOP is signed by every team member, with immediate termination for any negligence detected. These SOPs encompass various measures, including the installation of glad hand locks and high-security padlocks on trailers when parked, mandatory 200-mile drives from the shipper, and required pre-loading showers. Additionally, SOPs cover protocols for handling lost and stolen trailers, pharmaceutical loads, operations, check calls, and monitoring centers. These protocols are available upon request and continuously updated to align with evolving technological advancements.
Moreover, the Cargo Defender security system represents cutting-edge technology designed to enhance freight security throughout the supply chain. With over three decades of experience in the pharmaceutical industry, we've acquired invaluable insights and best practices in high-value freight management, further solidifying our commitment to protecting your cargo.
