wastenafarmtrucking Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 There is a ring or something working in the Binghamton area that is targeting Mack trucks for theft and shipment over seas.Last month my dump truck was stolen, along with about 10 others, last week alone 7 more were taken from the Bainbridge area, about 30 miles north east of Binghamton.Just letting folks in NY know, disable your trucks or yours may be next.

I've been robbed twice of equipment and now make it more difficult for the dead beats. Back in the mid 1980's in the Hartford Ct. area my company lost two brand new R models right off the job site.One had less than 3000 miles on it. Everyone watch out for each other!

wastenafarmtrucking Posted March 5, 2013 Author Share Posted March 5, 2013 The worst part is that the NY State Troopers know where they're going, where there leaving from and what countries they're going to, but can't find them..... WTF!They won't come out and call it a ring, but with so many trucks, of a certain manufacturer being stolen, what the hell else would it be called?

hicrop10 Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 I rent out my yard to a bunch of truckers down here in PHilly.One of the truckers that hauls containers to the port of NJ said that they only check only a few of the containers going out of the US.I know here in PHilly there is a bunch that is going after the higher end cars to be shipped over seas.I went into one of the shops to talk to a fellow that wanted to rent out our whole yard,and there were two guys grinding the #'s off a BMW to load it into a container that had another BMW already in it.I told a friend of mine that is with the fbi and they raided that place the week before he said.Found no cars,but there were alot of grinding wheels.He was saying they no sooner get the cars in and they remove the #'s and ship it right out.

bullhusk Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 Just a little something that works for me, Have your driver leave his company cell phone in an area that you have hidden in your truck every night when he parks it.. Now if your lucky and no one finds the phone you can ping it and find your truckBULLHUSKPS also have your charger plug hard wired into the pocket your phone will be in as to charge it at night Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mackbulldog64 Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 Wow! I am glad that Lancasters Titan has a GPS. I see that almost every week and they just got that about 1 year ago. Is that a lease Unit? I see were lancaster traded there CHN600's in at Albany Mack and I wounder if they were lease units also. Then Albany Mack wholesaled out to a dealer in Ohio.
