Your BQA-T Compliance Partner
What is BQA-T?
Beef Quality Assurance is the industry standard for proper care and handling of cattle. BQA is not a choice, but a responsibility to offer the best possible product to the end consumer. From the BQA.org website:
Beef Quality Assurance is a national program that raises consumer confidence through offering proper management techniques and a commitment to quality within every segment of the beef industry.
Transporting animals expose them to risk and stress, and as such, transportation professionals must demonstrate the highest caliber of care and concern.
LTN is committed to supporting both producers and transportation professionals adhere to the highest standards of livestock handling throughout transport.
Facility Flight Board
Whether you ship one load per quarter or 20 loads per day, every load requires the highest standards of care and attention. LTN’s Flight Board captures the activity at the receiving gate: both inbound and outbound loads, the trucking company hauling the load, and the company’s driver - including BQA status.
At a glance, you can know for certain that every driver delivering or shipping your animals has completed BQA Transportation certification, and engage them before arriving to course correct, avoiding compliance uncertainty or issues.
Direct Driver Dispatching
Regardless if you arrange trucks for a single facility or hundreds of customers, you have a vast network of directly employed drivers, owner/ops, and third party trucking companies you rely on to cover all your loads. Part of load planning is ensuring BQA compliance - and equally important, communicating compliance to the customer, the shipping and the receiving facilities.
Using LTN to plan your loads ensures that you know that the driver you are sending has current BQA Transportation certification, and that the facility has access to it.
Additionally, you get all the other great benefits LTN’s Planner and Load History have to offer.
