Optimizing Yard Security: Insights from BirdsEye Security Solutions

In this episode of the Trucking Risk and Insurance Podcast, hosts Johnny and Chris welcome Mike Ika, founder of BirdsEye Security Solutions, to discuss yard security in the logistics industry. 

Mike explains BirdsEye’s comprehensive yard entry system that replaces and enhances traditional security guard roles by using technology to manage entry, ID verification, truck and trailer checks, and other security protocols. 

The conversation delves into the challenges faced by the trucking industry during tight economic times and how security solutions can help mitigate risks, reduce insurance costs, and improve overall operational efficiency. 

Viewers are encouraged to consider how advanced security measures can contribute to a well-run and safe trucking operation.
