Companies forced to increase rates, implement new vehicle policies
By Joel Griffin, assistant editor
As the price of fuel continues to increase across the country, security companies, particularly alarm dealers and private security firms, are struggling to compensate for lost revenue at the pump.
The solution for most of these companies has been to adjust their rates or make their customers pay an additional fuel surcharge in an effort to help offset the skyrocketing cost of doing business.
In certain cases, however, taking these types of money-saving measures have either not been effective enough or have forced customers to look elsewhere for their security services.
