TechnoPrevent - USA - Stolen trucks the hi-tech way
Did'u lost a pallet of Viaggra... ???
USA -TG Daily, by David Strom -22 Nov 2005: -- The problem is that more than 100 truck loads a day on average are lost or more likely stolen from America's roads. These aren't just some random pickups, but full 50-foot trailers that can carry anywhere from $100,000 worth of clothing to multi-million dollar loads of pharmaceuticals. And recovering these stolen goods is all being done with hi-tech that until recently wasn't even possible... The idea is fiendishly simple: Place a tracking device of about the size of a deck of cards deep down inside a pallet of goods that is carried by trucks around the country. The device sends out a signal every 30 seconds telling the central monitoring command center where it is located. If it goes someplace unexpected, call the cops... "A pallet of Viagra is worth $1.2 million on the retail market, and there are 28 pallets in the average-sized trailer," said Eppley... The problem is that all this missing merchandise is the result of some very determined and clever crooks, and Eppley's company is using tech to track them down and stop the losses...
