What is a Cargo Attendant Accompanying Shipment?

A Cargo Attendant Accompanying Shipment is part of a logistics practice involving the inclusion of a dedicated cargo attendant or escort who accompanies a specific shipment throughout its journey, especially during sensitive or high-value cargo transportation. 

 

Certain cargo, such as high-value goods, hazardous materials, or items requiring strict temperature control, demand specialized attention and security throughout its journey. A cargo attendant is designated to oversee shipment handling and mitigate security risks by ensuring the shipment remains safeguarded and unaltered during transit.
