7 Date: To: From: Re: All Independent Contractors and Agent Partners Safety Department No-Stop Policy and Storage of Loaded Trailers To minimize the likelihood of theft and/or hijackings, we have adopted a No-Stop directive, requiring that the load should not be left unattended for the first 300 miles of the trip. Preferably, the truck should not stop for the first miles, and under no circumstances should the load be left unattended during the first 300 miles. If stopping and leaving such a load unattended cannot be avoided, the truck should be equipped with stealth methods to disable the power unit in a manner that only allows the authorized driver to access and start the power unit (e.g. hidden kill switch or dispatch based telemetric shutdown). Other basic theft prevention strategies required to be followed: ALL loaded trailers MUST be stored in a safe secure yard only; Do not leave trucks and cargo unattended in unsecured areas such as truck stops, shopping centers, parking lots or rest areas; Do not leave Bill of Ladings anywhere on the truck or trailer; Be sure to lock the inspection door on the trailer; Do Not at Any Time, discuss your load or your route with anyone you don t know (or within hearing distance of anyone). Please Sign and Return Date
