R.L Carriers, a family-owned freight shipping company, has been a significant player in the industry since its inception over 55 years ago. Starting with a single truck, the company has grown to operate a fleet of over 21,000 tractors and trailers, offering a wide range of services including Less-than-Truckload (LTL), expedited shipping, and comprehensive logistics solutions. Known for their commitment to customer satisfaction, R.L Carriers blends traditional values with modern efficiency, ensuring reliable and innovative shipping services across a broad geographic area.
The primary security challenge faced by R.L Carriers revolved around their compromised perimeter. Their existing fence was aged and deteriorating, posing a significant security vulnerability. Additionally, a pressing concern was the adjacent public walkway located behind the company’s property. This area had become a frequent spot for the homeless to sleep and congregate, further escalating the security risks. Given the substantial time required to replace the fence, R.L Carriers sought an immediate and effective solution to these issues. They turned to us to address and resolve these security challenges efficiently and effectively. Our task was to step up and provide robust security measures that could temporarily compensate for the physical boundary limitations and manage the challenges posed by the nearby public walkway.
To address the security concerns at R.L Carriers, CGSS proposed a two-fold solution. Firstly, we introduced a mobile patrol unit equipped with lights to actively patrol the large property. The presence of this mobile unit, particularly during vulnerable hours, was aimed at deterring any unwanted individuals from entering or lingering on the premises. The addition of lighting not only increased visibility but also served as an additional deterrent, making the patrol more effective.
Secondly, CGSS provided specialized support at the front gate. This area, being a crucial point for the entry and exit of trucks and visitors, required enhanced security measures. Our team assisted in managing and monitoring this access point, ensuring that only authorized personnel and visitors could enter the premises. This measure not only improved the overall security of the site but also streamlined the flow of traffic and visitors, contributing to the efficiency of R.L Carriers' operations.
These solutions were strategically designed to temporarily compensate for the gaps in physical security due to the fence issue while enhancing the overall safety and security of R.L Carriers' property and operations.
The security measures implemented by CGSS yielded significant results for R.L Carriers. The introduction of the mobile patrol unit, with its conspicuous lighting and active patrolling, effectively secured the site. This presence played a crucial role in deterring and fending off homeless individuals from the property, particularly in the area near the public walkway.
Our front gate management contributed to a safer and more controlled environment. The CGSS guards became familiar with the regular workers at R.L Carriers, allowing them to quickly identify and manage new or unfamiliar visitors. This familiarity not only enhanced security but also fostered a sense of community and trust between the security personnel and the R.L Carriers team.
The success of our security measures was evident in the maintained integrity and safety of the property. CGSS continued to provide these essential security services until R.L Carriers was able to install their new fence, ensuring continuous protection and peace of mind throughout the transition period. The implementation of these security solutions not only resolved the immediate concerns but also demonstrated CGSS's capability to adapt and respond effectively to unique security challenges.
