MicroTRAK, Inc. Announces FleetGUARD Discounts for Vehicles Transporting Hazardous Material
DALLAS--Aug. 2, 20059, 2005--MicroTRAK, Inc. (Pinksheets:MIOK) announces introduction of Anti-Terrorism Program (ATP), in which the premiere MIOK "FleetGUARD", will offer fleet companies not only proper, safe, and protected transporting from possible terrorist attacks, but employs discount rates to fleet companies who transport hazardous materials.Each year, almost 5 billion tons of hazardous materials and wastes are transported throughout the United States. These shipments include everything from explosives, flammables, corrosive or toxic chemicals to spent reactor fuel, low-level radioactive wastes and disease-causing biological agents.
The quotes listed by Mr. Flynn were sourced from the National Cargo Security Council's website, under ICSC's press releases. "A weapon of mass destruction smuggled into our country in a cargo-container could be the next 9/11. The bad guys watched and learned how we reacted after the last attack by grounding all aviation. They could generate massive economic and societal disruption if they succeed at spooking us into closing our borders and ports to all incoming containers," said Stephen Flynn, author of the national bestseller, "America the Vulnerable," and inaugural occupant of the Jeanne Kirkpatrick Chair in National Security Studies at the Council of Foreign Relations.
The FleetGUARD's real-time tracking gives dispatchers a view of one, some, or all of their fleet at the same time on one screen. Unlike other competitors who utilize RF communication for tracking, MIOK combines true global positioning satellite communication and cellular communication, to ensure reliable, accurate, and responsive nation-wide tracking. With this in mind, one of the FleetGUARD's most imperative capabilities is Geo-Fencing. The Geo-Fencing feature gives dispatchers the ability to be given an urgent notification of fleet movement outside a prescribed area.
Mr. Flynn also noted, "We are vulnerable for two reasons, the world has gotten smaller--more travel, we're more open and as business expands, we are more vulnerable. We are the most free nation in the world--a Constitution and a Bill of Rights. If we wanted to secure our borders or be a police state, we could, but we won't, because we are a free nation."
