Fresno, CA - JTS (Johanson Transportation Service), a leading third-party supply chain solutions provider, announces that they have been awarded CargoNet’s Best in Cargo Security Award for their 2018 prevention efforts in the Mid-Size Broker Category. This is the second time JTS has received this honor. In 2016, CargoNet awarded JTS Best in Cargo Security in the Small Broker category.

Considerations for the award include factors such as: a willingness to commit resources to security; standard operating procedures and best practices; and, the scope of utilization and support for the CargoNet program.

"It is with great pleasure to be able to recognize Johanson Transportation Service’s cargo security efforts as they clearly demonstrate a cargo security-centric environment", said Ryan Shepherd, CargoNet general manager. "It is easy for an intermediary to place the responsibility of cargo security on the carrier and shipper; yet that doesn’t seem to stop Johanson from implementing best practices to help protect their customers' freight.”

A CargoNet member since 2013, JTS has been using the CargoNet program to educate shippers and carriers about possible risks that have been identified as significantly important to their primary logistics and shipping activities.

“JTS has integrated the CargoNet program into our daily carrier relations operations to the fullest extent possible to safeguard our customers’ freight and stay informed about potential threats in the marketplace.,” says Director of Compliance and Legal Affairs, Alicia Ruiz.
