Werner Enterprises Was Awarded For Its Highest Level Of Cargo Security
Werner Enterprises, Inc., one of the nation's largest truckload transportation and logistics companies, announced recently it is a validated member in the Customs-Trade Partnership Against Terrorism (C-TPAT) program.
The C-TPAT is a joint government business initiative to build cooperative relationships that strengthen the overall supply chain and border security, developed by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security Customs and Border Protection. As a C-TPAT participant, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security views Werner as an active participant in the war against terror.
By participating in these programs, Werner Enterprises' C-TPAT approved customers will benefit from improved border crossing times, faster clearance of imports and on-going process improvements, resulting in increased efficiencies in the supply chain.
"C-TPAT offers more business opportunities, and the freight we transport is more secure," said John Vana, Werner's associate vice president of regulatory compliance. "Werner has had the support to get the C-TPAT validation from upper management right from the beginning, starting with the company's president."
A copy of the letter certifying approval is available on the Werner Enterprises Web site at www.werner.com.
