Truck yard Security service

Introduction: Why Truck Yard Security Matters

In today’s world, truck yards, commercial parking lots, and transport depots are prime targets for crime. Thieves and vandals know these facilities hold high-value cargo, commercial trucks, trailers, and critical equipment. Even one successful break-in can cause massive financial loss, insurance complications, missed deliveries, and reputational damage.

That’s where Truck Yard Security Services from Alberta Prime Security come in. We provide professional, licensed, and reliable truck yard guards across Edmonton, Calgary, Red Deer, and all of Alberta. Our goal is simple: to protect your fleet, safeguard your cargo, and stop crime before it starts.

Truck yards need more than cameras or fences. They need a visible, trained, and responsive security presence that keeps criminals away, ensures compliance, and gives trucking companies and logistics operators total peace of mind.

 

The Growing Risks in Truck Yards

1. Cargo Theft

Cargo theft in Canada has been on the rise, with Alberta being a hotspot due to its busy trucking routes and logistics hubs. Stolen goods can include electronics, food, fuel, metals, and even pharmaceuticals. Organized crime groups often target truck yards because they know many facilities lack 24/7 human security.

2. Fuel Theft & Vandalism

With rising fuel costs, diesel theft is one of the most common crimes at truck yards. Thieves siphon fuel from parked trucks, costing businesses thousands of dollars per incident. Vandalism, such as cutting brake lines, breaking windows, or damaging trailers, further disrupts operations.

3. Unauthorized Access

Truck yards attract trespassers, loiterers, and even disgruntled ex-employees. Without access control and professional security guards, it’s easy for unauthorized individuals to slip in unnoticed.

4. Liability & Safety Issues

Trucking companies face liability if accidents or theft occur on their property. Lack of proper truck yard security increases the chance of lawsuits, higher insurance premiums, and even lost contracts with clients who demand strong security measures.
