New TSA Air Requirements And Your Time-Based Shipments [03.12.2007]

We at Roadway promise to be your understanding partner and to make sure that your time-based transportation solutions are simple, smart, and effective. To accomplish that goal, we use unmatched geographic coverage on the ground, combined with our status as an IAC (Indirect Air Carrier), to deliver personalized time-based solutions with flexibility, reliability, and precision to meet your most challenging transportation needs.

The United States Department of Homeland Security and the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) are leading nationwide efforts to secure the United States' transportation systems. The current focus of the TSA's Standard Security Program (SSP) is to ensure the security of all air cargo.

Although we can transport the majority of your time-based shipments on the ground, we sometimes use air transportation to meet your requirements.

Recent communications from throughout the transportation industry have mentioned that shippers would be required to show a government issued ID at the time of pickup for air shipments. This will not be a requirement. Rest assured, we stay abreast of the requirements of TSA's security program. We will continue to provide you with understanding, supportive, and resourceful service for your expedited/time-based transportation needs.

We deliver flexible time-based solutions by both ground and air to help you meet your business goals--your way. Contact your Customer Care Team or your Roadway account professional to learn more about how we can work with you to build a personalized time-based solution.
