Protecting Your Trucks From Hijackers

Transportation and supply chain companies are not only facing oppressive financial pressures, but now ALL transportation modes are facing hijacking pressures. The Somali pirates have shined a light on the threats that cargo ships face traversing Africa, but truckers are facing more severe threats for hijacking and physical injury along the US/Mexico border.

The hijacking of an US ship, the Alabama, by Somali pirates was unique, but far more goods and truckers are under daily threat as they deliver goods across the U.S.. Travel advisories by Homeland Security and Transportation Security Administration highlight the fact that hijackings are becoming more frequent and profitable for criminals along the border; but regions are facing cargo threats as well. The following are links to recent press releases outlining the threats to the trucking industry.
