TRANSIT LOSS PREVENTION

Whenever merchandise is being moved in closed container type trucks, it must be ensured that door hinges of truck cargo section are properly affixed / fastened. It can happen that a mischievous transporter keep the door hinges loose deliberately, thereby helping him to open the door during transhipment without disturbing the 'door seal' which the despatching business might affix to ensure safe transportation of his merchandise.

Even if hinges are properly affixed, it must be ensured that centre bolt holding door hinges is also permanently welded. A loose centre bolt can also be easily removed enroute and merchadise can be taken out without disturbing the 'seal' placed to seal the door.

A dishonest transporter can easily steal / replace merchandise enroute, if the above two issues are not addressed by the business.
