Highly Responsive Service
Every business day for nearly 50 years, Tucker Company Worldwide has met and exceeded the delicate and often demanding requirements of the healthcare and pharmaceutical industries. We stay in regular communication with carrier drivers, dispatch, carrier web sites and our shippers and receivers in route. Our proven ability to provide customers with the right equipment even during these recent capacity starved years has made Tucker Company Worldwide one of the best freight services available.
We Know Security
Money, military cargo and pharmaceuticals—we arrange freight services for them all. Today, cargo security is possibly hottest issue relating to pharmaceutical, health and personal care and food freight today. Tucker handles world class multi-million dollar pharmaceutical truckloads, is U. S. Defense Department approved to haul military freight to and from nearly every military installation in the U. S., and we are U. S. Treasury approved and have a long history of moving United States currency from U. S. Mint.
But how do we handle freight issues relating to security? Basically, we do whatever our customers request us to do. Every customer is different, with very different requirements. Every shipper of sensitive cargo has its own risk management requirements, like each type of customer mentioned above.
Therefore, to meet customer needs and demands, we react to your needs and customize our operation to best serve you. Most security sensitive customers require us to provide a variety of documentation on any carrier we utilize. Once Tucker qualifies a carrier, sometimes a customer does its own research and authorizes that carrier for our use. Some customers will provide Tucker with a checklist of carrier needs including authority, insurance, DOT safety ratings, SafeStat scores when SafeStat is fully functioning, a completed safety questionnaire, may require driver background checks, or even a “Site Access Agreement” the carrier must agree to and sign prior to entering any sensitive facility, etc.
The point is, in addition to Tucker’s own scrutiny of carriers, which we believe to be best in class, we perform any legal additional screening and/or ongoing qualification that our customers demand.
