At Smart Road Transport, we take pride in being one of the most security-driven logistics providers on the border. Recently, our two facilities—Tijuana, MX and San Diego, CA—were visited by U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officials and CTPAT specialists for an in-depth audit of our certification compliance.
This verification was carried out to review multiple areas of our CTPAT profile, including:
Physical and procedural security protocols
Access control and key management
Driver and personnel verification
Storage, inspection, and documentation processes
🛠️ Hands-On Demonstration by Our Security & Safety Team
Our bilingual security and safety personnel led the walkthrough, guiding CBP agents through the daily procedures we execute to safeguard every unit and every load. During the visit, our team showcased:
Secure entry/exit logs for vehicles and personnel
Physical inspections and documentation trails
Controlled access to sensitive areas
Real-time K9 inspection demos, reinforcing our commitment to layered security
From the key control room to the inspection yard, our team demonstrated the precision, consistency, and transparency that define Smart Road Transport’s operational integrity.
