Organized gangs are probing your security processes looking to exploit weak spots. Secure Trailer Lots heighten security during the weakest phase, during periods of rest, and increase the odds that your customer receives the cargo as promised.<p> <p>The aftermath of the events of 911 spotlighted the lack of overall security, screening and availability of secure facilities related to the cargo and transportation of goods in the United States. Cargo-related crimes, including cargo theft, insurance fraud, drug trafficking, and the transportation of illegal immigrants into the United States, have all become dominant criminal issues on the national agenda. <!-- Example of the blockquote style --> </p> <blockquote> <p>Estimates vary, but the FBI estimates that cargo theft costs the U.S. $12 Billion to $30 Billion per year. These direct costs embarrass carriers, but cargo continues to increase by a CAGR of 11%.<a href="http://www.fbi.gov/page2/july06/cargo_theft072106.htm" class="readmore">read more</a> <!-- The readmore class is used to style the link at the bottom right of the blockqoute --> </p> </blockquote> <p> <!-- H2 example --> </p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Secure Trailer Lots has developed secured parking and drop-lot locations to minimize cargo theft. Secure Trailer Lots uses proven practices and procedures. Cargo and trailers are protected by security practices, yard management procedures, guards, cameras, yard pass software and online reporting. The company also has a  no exceptions policy to minimize the opportunity for thieves to exploit security gaps.<p> <h2>Cargo Theft Today </h2> <p>Changing methods for shipping high-value cargo are cited by many analysts as the major contributor to increasing cargo theft in the transportation sector. Containerization of cargo inadvertently encourages increased organized criminal presence in freight transportation. Cargo terminals, which manage the loading, unloading, storage, and transfer of these containers, are particularly vulnerable to penetration. Other key findings include the following:</p> <p>Containerized cargo theft is carried out primarily as an organized criminal conspiracy. Cargo is targeted, stolen, and fenced by criminal networks, often with the collusion of port workers, truck drivers, freight forwarders, dispatchers, and warehouse employees.</p> <p>Each year, cargo thefts from terminals (including ports, docks, intermodal facilities, rail yards, warehouses, transfer facilities), motor carriers, and maritime vessels account for between $12 billion (conservative FBI estimate) to more than $30 billion (NCSC estimate) in lost merchandise. This figure represents a significant portion (3.1 percent) of annual surface transportation general freight revenue.</p> <p>Indirect costs related to cargo theft (not including all law enforcement or security technology costs) range from $60 billion to $150 billion each year.</p> <div id="footer"> <p> &copy;2007 <a href="http://www.securetrailerlots.com/" title="Secure Trailer Lots">Secure Trailer Lots</a> | Design <a href="http://www.midlandsnetworksolution.com/" title="Midlands Network Solution LLC">Midlands Network Solution LLC</a> | All Rights Reserved </p> </div> <!-- End Footer --> </div> <!-- End Contetnt --> </div> <!-- End Content Wrapper --> <script type="text/javascript"> var gaJsHost = (("https:" == document.location.protocol) ?
