Organized groups of cargo thieves have become more sophisticated and aggressive, and they see the transportation industry as being full of high-value, low risk targets. More than $35 billion in annual losses are projected from theft and tampering. Thieves are targeting every link in transportation networks, from distribution centers and warehouses to truck stops, and even forcing individual trucks off the road.
While there isn’t yet a single, unified security rulebook for the trucking and logistics industry, the regulatory tide is rising. Shippers, insurers, and federal agencies are increasingly requiring proof of secure, documented access control. Waiting to update security may put you behind the curve. Further, theft may diminish your hard-earned reputation in the eyes of potential customers.
Tightening your security with stronger and smarter locks is no longer optional. If you’re still using basic mechanical padlocks and keys, you’re increasing your risk and potential customers may also steer clear. An effective solution must harden the security of fleets as well as distribution centers and warehouse facilities.
But tougher security can’t compromise efficiency, because staying on schedule protects your reputation and profitability. ALCEA has a comprehensive hardware, software, and service portfolio, offering mechanical, electromechanical, and keyless locking, access control, and key management. This comprehensive solution hardens your security, helps you adapt to changes on the fly, and enables greater accountability.
Transport Security, Inc (TSI) truck locks, trailer locks, and container security devices are recognized for their durability and performance.

Today, TSI also incorporates ABLOY PROTEC2 CLIQ electromechanical locking technology to enable programmable, revocable, and auditable access and key control. The TSI/ABLOY partnership solves real problems for some of the largest intermodal transportation companies. It’s a fleet of transportation security solutions that withstand attempts at forced entry and the forces of nature.
