The Freight Transportation Security Consortium (FTSC) has announced a joint program by its members to raise awareness among North America's truckers, shippers, insurance companies, and public safety agencies about the effectiveness of modern asset tracking technology and related security services.
More than 25 FTSC member companies have agreed to provide free trials and tests of their security devices, systems, and services to operators of for-hire, private, and government truck fleets with security concerns especially haulers of hazardous materials, international containers, and foodstuffs, as well as emergency response vehicle fleets.
FTSC member companies offer security devices and services including asset tracking, onboard computers, wireless GPS, remote vehicle control, biometric driver identification, event remediation, and emergency dispatch. To apply for the trial program, qualified fleet operators can phone FTSC at 212-297-6226 or contact participating members to learn of the details of their specific trial programs. A list of participating members can be found at www.ftsc.us/list.html.
