weve never had any security guards, except during the big strike back in the 90s, that was the only time i think there ever was any kind of security at all
from reading on here it sounds like most of your terminals are secured by a guard and maybe gated in or whatever
the reason i ask is because we have nothing to keep homeless people, vandals and theifs out of our yard at all.....there is an electric fence but anybody can walk right through either of the 2 gates, and we have had problems with homeless people camping out in trailers in the past
some time last year a motorcycle was stolen around 3am, it belonged to a road driver.....the yard jockey came around the corner and spotted the guy right as he was getting on it, and he knew the road driver who owned it so he called police right away, said he would of chased him down if those jockey trucks went faster then 30 mph lol
our terminal is on a shady side of town, inner city, alot of drugs and crime around, and i would like to see a security guard at the main driveway mainly to keep people away from our personal vehicles
we also have a few cameras in the yard and employee parking lot but ive been told by the center manager nobody watches it unless there was an incident then they go back and watch them
obviously it hasnt been a big enough problem for anything to be done about it, but since UPS has changed everything else about Overnite maybe it will happen someday
so whats security like where you work and do you ever have any incidents?
