Unsecured freight
is not only a cause of damage, but is a major safety concern
for both rail and over-the-road carriers. Allegheny Industrial
Associates works closely with the many regulatory agencies
and trade associations to ensure our products are fully tested
and certified to meet the most rigorous requirements.
Railroad loading
and securement methods, for both intermodal and boxcar loads,
are evaluated and approved by the Damage Prevention & Loading
Services group of Railinc, a wholly owned subsidiary of the
Association of American Railroads (AAR). Allegheny's extensive
rail service experience saves both time and money finding
the right solution fast. In fact, Allegheny has obtained more
AAR load securement approvals than anyone else!

In the U.S., highway
safety is the responsibility of the Federal Motor Carrier
Safety Administration (FMCSA). In Canada their counterpart
is the Canadian Council of Motor Transport Administrators
(CCMTA). Allegheny works closely with these agencies to insure
our customers are informed about the most current shipping
regulations.
AIA has been working
cooperatively with these agencies for over 5 years during
the development of the proposed "North American Cargo
Securement Standard." This is a performance based cargo
securement standard, which if adopted, would effect all freight
shipments moving over-the-road in the United States, Canada,
and Mexico.
