Since NMFTA’s system for the management of Standard Carrier Alpha Codes (SCAC) has significantly changed with the April 10 launch of the new SCAC system, we’ve had more than the usual spotlight recently on SCAC. Are you left wondering, “Do I need a SCAC?”
Few disasters have more potential to cripple a trucking company than the loss of its data. Imagine not being able to make payroll, or losing all access to your invoices, or not having records on your assets or your customers. Worse: Imagine not being able to get it back – at least not right away.
NMFTA recently shared quotes from its leaders and key members that were broadcast by the Dave Nemo Show during February’s NMFTA Membership Meeting in La Jolla, CA.
Is your organization ready for a cyberattack? Not just your IT department. Your whole organization. When a cyberattack hits, it doesn’t just affect the IT department. But in most companies, it’s only the IT people who give much thought to such scenarios.
The newest SCAC system has officially launched, and companies all across the trucking industry are getting acquainted with the first all-digital system for managing Standard Carrier Alpha Codes. Need assistance? We’re here to help.
Trucking companies must protect themselves against cyber attacks – both in a preventive sense and in a reactive sense. The best-case scenario, of course, is for no successful attack to ever occur, which is why we often tell you about strategies to prevent such an event.
As the National Motor Freight Traffic Association (NMFTA) and the trucking industry roll toward the release of SCAC 2.0, it’s a good idea to step back and make sure we’re clear on the most basic of questions.
Everyone at some point receives an e-mail that seems fishy, and perhaps prompts them to show it to someone else, wondering, “Do you think this is legitimate?” There are good reasons people are asking that.
Making the National Motor Freight Classification® (NMFC®) system as easy as possible for the industry to use is a high priority here at the National Motor Freight Traffic Association (NMFTA). That is why NMFTA’s Freight Classification Development Council (FCDC) took several actions during NMFTA’s recent membership meeting in La Jolla, CA to make the NMFC simpler and easier for shippers.
NMFTA recently shared quotes from its leaders and key members that were broadcast by the Dave Nemo Show during February’s NMFTA Membership Meeting in La Jolla, CA.
In the current environment of cyber threats, it is commonplace for trucking companies to have their enterprise systems penetration-tested. It’s a simple enough proposition, in which a cybersecurity expert (pentester) tests the potential weaknesses of your systems and demonstrates the existence of vulnerabilities by exploiting them.
Cybersecurity leaders from two NMFTA member companies recently suggested two high-impact actions that every fleet can take to significantly reduce the risk of cyberattacks now. The first is two-factor authentication. The second is the addition of a secure gateway to the fleet.
