California Highway Patrol
Certificate of Achievement

The California Highway Patrol (CHP) requires truck terminals to participate in the Biennial Inspection of Terminals (BIT) Program, a roadability safety inspection program that inspects chassis, trailers and trucks. The law requires that truck terminals, such as ours, register with the CHP, whereby safety inspectors check for compliance of the program. The inspectors verify the carrier has enrolled drivers into the Department of Motor Vehicles Pull Notice program, which sends alerts to the carrier when a driver has a convicted traffic violation, license suspension or revocation. Additionally, inspectors verify the carrier follows practices to ensure compliance with drivers’ hours of service, vehicles and equipment are roadability safe, and maintenance practices are in place.

We proudly display our “badge,” our recognition from the CHP, the issuance of a Certificate of Achievement for having two consecutive BIT satisfactory ratings. We believe in safety first!

Customs-Trade Partnership Against Terrorism (C-TPAT)
Certificate of Achievement

The C-TPAT program is a U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) premier trade security program. The purpose of C-TPAT is to partner with the trade community, establishing clear supply chain security criteria for members to meet and in return, provide incentives and benefits such as expedited processing.

CBP requires that C-TPAT company participants develop an internal validation process to ensure the existence of security measures documented in their Supply Chain Security Profile and in any supplemental information provided to CBP. As a part of the C-TPAT process, CBP C-TPAT Supply Chain Security Specialists (SCSS) and the C-TPAT participant will jointly conduct a validation of the company’s supply chain security procedures The validation process is essential to verifying the company’s commitment to C-TPAT.

Principles

The guiding principle of the C-TPAT program is enhancing and ensuring supply chain security through a government-industry partnership. The C-TPAT program is voluntary and designed to share information that will protect the supply chain from being compromised by terrorists and terrorist organizations. The validation process will enable CBP and the C-TPAT participant to jointly review the participant’s C-TPAT security profile to ensure that security actions in the profile are effectively executed. Throughout the process, there will also be the opportunity to discuss security issues and to share “best practices” with the ultimate goal of securing the international supply chain.
