London, United Kingdom (prHWY.com) March 19, 2013 - Security is one of the main concerns for haulage companies across the UK. Thieves often target haulage companies because of the value of the vehicles they own as well as the goods that they deliver. Some thieves even target haulage firms to steal fuel from the vehicles. Now a haulage website, Haulage Exchange, is providing some guidelines to good security practices for haulage companies and drivers, including the following tips:

- All haulage drivers, no matter what type of transport contract they are working on, should take basic safety precautions, such as never leaving their vehicles alone even for a few seconds to pop into a shop. Drivers should also be careful of the danger posed when their vehicle is stationery, as this is a good time for an opportunistic thief to attack.

- A transport contract could involve stopping off overnight, and drivers should take extra care in this situation. This means parking in an area frequented by other drivers, and keeping the vehicle locked up.

- Haulage firms should ensure that they have a very efficient security system up and running to protect their fleet at all time. This should involve CCTV and other features such as fences to keep the thieves out.

Any transport contract worker should take the threat posed by thieves seriously, so these tips should always be followed by haulage drivers and fleet owners to stay safe and avoid problems.
