AMTEL OFFERS GPS SYSTEMS TO BULK UP SECURITY

The trucking and cargo industries are about to embark on a major billion dollar campaign to institute and buttress existing security systems at all of their facilities.

With a line of TIM GPS-based Fleet Management Systems, Asset Tracking/Monitoring and Visitor Screening Systems, AMTEL can provide your customers with state-of-the-art solutions for:

Trucking Terminal Security: Only an estimated 30% of existing truck terminals have security fencing and controlled automated gates. This leaves 70% that could be vulnerable.

AMTEL not only manufactures barrier gates, but also RF-ID Systems for controlling them.

GPS-based Systems: The AMTEL TIM GPS-based Fleet Management System tracks and monitors the movement of trucks and trailers on road or off road. Trucking companies today are spending as much as $2000 per truck to equip their vehicles with these systems. AMTEL is prepared to furnish TIM to the industry for as little as $700 per truck. Such systems promote both security and efficiency.

Proposed Guidelines for Trucking Terminals:

1. A secured employee parking lot should be provided, and located away from terminal facilities.

2. Employee identification badges should be mandatory.

3. Visitors should also be identified by pass or badge.

4. Rigs should be protected with alarms, access control systems and tractor tracking devices.

5. Carriers should provide panic buttons to their drivers.

Remember: Homeland Security is now encouraging truck companies to explore a variety of technologies to boost vehicle security. Many fleet executives believe that GPS tracking could become mandatory on all tractors and trailers. Unauthorized people that have unlimited access to hazardous materials, food or other sensitive cargo can be an immediate threat to our security. Time is of the essence.
