Cargo theft is becoming epidemic, and even supposedly secure trailer parking facilities are becoming increasingly the target of professional thieves. We at TXS believe the only realistic and affordable way to protect cargo in transit is with live security personnel at shared fleet facilities. So far, our model works.
