FAQs

The audit should involve transportation managers, fleet supervisors, security personnel, and TAPA-certified auditors specializing in trucking security.

TAPA recommends conducting internal TSR audits at least annually, with external certification audits typically required every three years to maintain compliance.

The checklist covers various aspects of trucking security, including vehicle security features, driver vetting and training, route risk assessment, communication protocols, and incident response procedures.

While the FSR checklist focuses on facility security, the TSR checklist specifically addresses security measures for trucking operations and in-transit cargo protection.

Non-compliance can lead to increased security risks, potential cargo losses, damage to reputation, loss of business opportunities, and higher insurance premiums for trucking operations.
