Secure Freight Transportation
Enhanced security for your most critical shipments
Continental TDS provides secure transportation services for high-value, sensitive, and classified cargo. Every secure shipment moves in GPS-tracked vehicles with full chain-of-custody documentation and background-checked drivers. From pickup to delivery, you have complete visibility and accountability at every stage of transit.
For shipments requiring the highest level of protection, we coordinate armed escort services and law enforcement liaison. Tamper-evident seals, photographic documentation, and geofencing alerts ensure that your cargo remains secure and on route throughout the journey. Our secure transport protocols meet the requirements of government agencies, defense contractors, and other organizations with zero tolerance for loss or compromise.
Serving government agencies, defense contractors, financial institutions, pharmaceutical companies, and any organization requiring enhanced security during transit, Continental TDS brings SDVOSB-certified military discipline to every secure transport engagement. Our drivers and logistics coordinators understand the stakes involved in moving sensitive cargo, and they operate accordingly.

How Secure Transport Works
A controlled four-step process for every secure shipment
Security Assessment
We evaluate your cargo type, value, sensitivity level, and route requirements. This assessment determines the security tier, vehicle type, driver clearance level, and whether armed escort is needed.
Custom Transport Plan
We build a detailed transport plan covering route selection, checkpoint schedules, communication protocols, and contingency procedures. Every plan is tailored to the specific security requirements of your shipment.
Secure Pickup
Background-checked drivers arrive with proper identification and documentation. Cargo is inspected, sealed with tamper-evident devices, photographed, and logged into our tracking system before departure.
GPS-Monitored Delivery
Real-time GPS tracking with geofencing alerts throughout transit. Upon arrival, seals are verified, cargo is inspected, and proof of delivery with photographic documentation is provided immediately.
Secure Transport FAQs
Common questions about our secure transport services
Any shipment that requires enhanced security beyond standard freight handling qualifies for our secure transport services. This includes high-value goods (electronics, jewelry, artwork, pharmaceuticals), classified or government-sensitive materials, financial documents, medical devices, and any cargo where loss, theft, or compromise would have significant consequences. If you are unsure whether your shipment requires secure transport, contact us for a free assessment.
Our standard cargo insurance covers shipments up to industry-standard limits. For high-value loads exceeding standard coverage, we offer excess valuation options that can be tailored to the full declared value of your cargo. Coverage details, deductibles, and exclusions are outlined during the transport planning phase. We recommend discussing your specific coverage needs during the initial security assessment so we can arrange appropriate protection before pickup.
Our secure transport services operate throughout the continental United States. Based in Fredericksburg, Virginia, we are strategically positioned near major government and military installations along the East Coast. For international secure transport requirements, we coordinate with vetted partner carriers and customs brokers to maintain chain-of-custody integrity across borders. Contact us to discuss your specific route requirements.
Armed escort is arranged during the transport planning phase based on the security assessment of your cargo. Provide details about the shipment value, contents, and any regulatory requirements when you contact us. Our team coordinates with licensed armed security providers and, when required, local and federal law enforcement along the planned route. Armed escort services require advance scheduling, so we recommend contacting us as early as possible to allow adequate planning time.
