It’s Saturday Night; Do You Know Where Your Semi Is?
According to an article in InformationWeek, the National Insurance Crime Bureau (NICB) is about to launch CargoNet, an nationwide database for truck theft information. "Once it’s switched on this weekend, CargoNet will collect up to 257 fields of data detailing everything from destination, plate number and carrier to the time, data and location of the theft, to serial numbers and other identifying detail on the stolen goods. Refreshed several times per day, CargoNet is expected to track more than 10,000 events per year, driving both a national alerting system and a corresponding truck stop watch program." Most truck thefts occur on weekends and the hot spots are Los Angeles, Dallas, Memphis, and south Florida.
