We are proud to recognize these efforts and grateful for their continued support.”
 
Factors considered for the award include TQL’s documented security plan for in-transit cargo, it’s process for communicating theft trends and best practices and training, protocols and contingency plans for unexpected delays on the road and high-value cargo, and the extent of TQL’s utilization of the CargoNet program.
 
“Cargo theft is a serious international problem affecting consumers and businesses. Our internal teams at TQL work tirelessly to identify threats to our customers’ freight and ensure the well-being of all those involved in transporting loads.
