COUNTERING TERRORISM THREATS: TRUCKING INDUSTRY AND MULTI-MODAL DISTRIBUTION NETWORK VULNERABILITIES
It is necessary to make America's trucking industry safe from the threat of terrorism and to enhance security while improving the industriy's operational efficiency. There are hundreds of thousands of hazardous cargo loads hauled on U.S. roadways every day. Each day gasoline tanker trucks make about 50,000 trips and trucks carrying chemicals represent an even greater risk. Terrorists therefore have an accessible reservoir of weapons primed and ready to go. A plan to enhance training of drivers and security and safety managers to be aware of potential terrorist threats is required and must include a security risk assessment process.

He asks, "What are we getting for our money?"
