Hazmat Tracking Center Developed to Improve Security for Shippers and Transporters

The U.S. Department of Transportation, warning that transport vehicles might be targeted by terrorists, recommends increased vigilance for hazmat shipments.
The DOT considers enhanced tracking of volatile and poisonous materials among the best ways to improve freight security. But the volume of hazmat in transit at any one time makes the job of providing heightened security a major challenge.

Charles L. Whittington, president and owner of Grammer Industries, a hazmat hauler based in Grammer, Indiana, is a strong supporter of the Hazmat Tracking Center concept.

Ninety-nine percent of the loads transported by the tank truck fleet are hazardous.
