Behind Every Service

Management, IT support
and loss prevention

RCS Truck, LLC provides Management, IT System Support and loss prevention services — including but not limited to Safety Training, Quality Training, Auditing and Claims Investigation.

We use the latest in mobile technology and voice transmission recordings to assist in investigations and accountability. Training and loss prevention techniques are designed to address incidents before they occur, and incident reporting is standardized and communicated to all associates so that no shift improvises its own version of the procedure.

Daily reports are completed before and after every shift, covering current-day activity and prior-day updates, and are sent to all Company Officers via email directly from the website.

  • Customized documentation built to a customer's own accountability requirements
  • Auditing and claims investigation supported by recorded evidence
  • Secure, hosted reporting database with same-day officer distribution
