About Us

Since 2005 – Protecting What Moves You

Trailer Alarms, LLC was founded with one purpose: to provide serious trailer security to people who rely on their trailers for work, racing, business, or passion. We don’t sell gimmicks, cheap locks, or generic imports. We offer purpose-built trailer security systems that actually work, with real support from people who know trailers inside and out.

We’ve been in business for nearly two decades and have helped secure everything from small utility trailers to million-dollar mobile units used by government agencies, race teams, and professionals across countless industries.

Our Story

I grew up in the heartland - Missouri and Iowa - where racing was life. My uncle Steve, raced sprint cars against some of the best, and I followed in his tire tracks. By 14, I was racing karts on dirt tracks, then moving up to sprint and road racing.

In 2004, a friend’s kart trailer was broken into twice. That’s what sparked this company. At the time, there weren’t many good trailer security options, especially nothing easy to find. In 2005, I launched Trailer-Alarms.com, aiming to be the "Jegs" of trailer security.

Ten years later, we acquired ProTec System One and began manufacturing the PTS-2 alarm system right here in Texas. We've kept it growing ever since - always refining, improving, and pushing the limits of what trailer security can do.

In 2024, after years of testing tracking solutions from around the world, we launched our own GPS platform built from the ground up for trailers. It’s not a repurposed vehicle tracker. It’s the G2 - and it represents everything we’ve learned about real-world theft prevention.

What We Believe

  • Real protection matters – If you’ve got gear worth hauling, you’ve got gear worth protecting.
  • No junk, no shortcuts – We won’t sell what we wouldn’t use ourselves.
  • Experience counts – With nearly 20 years in this business, we’ve seen what works and what doesn’t.
  • You get what you pay for – We don’t try to be the cheapest. We try to be the best.
  • We’re in this with you – From first call to final install, we’ll help make sure it’s done right.

Racing is in Our Blood

Racing isn’t just a hobby around here, it’s part of who we are. Because of that, we take pride in supporting racers and helping them protect their equipment.

We're especially proud to sponsor Ashley Afdahl, who has stepped up in a big way to promote our company and products. She represents us on and off the track, not just with her racecar, but through her strong presence on social media. Ashley’s effort and professionalism help us reach more people who truly understand the value of trailer security.
