Heists Targeting Truckers On Rise
Robberies Are "Wreaking Havoc" on U.S. Highways, Endangering Consumers


By JENNIFER LEVITZ

Thieves are swiping tractor-trailers filled with goods, triggering a spike in cargo theft on the nation's highways.

Over five days last month, an 18-wheeler carrying 710 cartons of consumer electronics was stolen from a Pennsylvania rest stop, a 53-foot-long rig packed with 43,000 pounds of paper was ripped off in Ottawa, Ill., and a 40-foot-long truck filled with reclining armchairs went missing in Atlanta.

Truckloads containing $487 million of goods were stolen in the U.S. in 2009, a 67% increase over the $290 million worth of products swiped a year earlier. Thieves stole 859 truckloads in 2009, up from 767 loads in 2008 and 672 in 2007, according to Freigh****ch International, an Austin, Texas-based supply-chain security firm that maintains a database of thefts that several government agencies, including the Federal Bureau of Investigation, look to for trends.


"In the past two months, we've just seen such an increase that it's to the point where criminals are just wreaking havoc," said Sandor Lengyel, a detective sergeant and squad leader in New Jersey State Police's cargo-theft unit. "They'll pretty much steal anything." Cargo thieves ripped off $28 million in goods in New Jersey in 2009, an 87% spike from the $15 million stolen in 2008, he said.

Law-enforcement authorities in Illinois, California and Pennsylvania are among several agencies and industry groups also reporting a spike.

Chubb Corp., a major insurer based in Warren, N.J., said that its own insurance claims and data from other sources show 725 cargo thefts in 2009, up 6.6% from 680 in 2008, and up 23% from 592 cargo thefts recorded for 2007. Chubb estimates the 2009 thefts amounted to $435 million of products.

The latest wave of thefts is different from a run of tractor-trailer hijackings that occurred in the 1960s, when organized-crime rings forced drivers out at gunpoint and took their trucks. According to industry officials and police, the current thefts are generally nonviolent and typically happen at rest stops when the driver is away from the truck and eating or showering.

While organized-crime rings may be involved, "we are seeing a lot more amateurs get into this," said Sgt. Sid Belk, of the California Highway Patrol. Cargo bandits made off with $29 million of goods in 2009 in Southern California, up 67% from $17.4 million in 2008, according to the highway patrol.

Thieves "sit and wait and watch, and when the driver goes in to take a shower, that's when they steal the trucks," said Special Agent John Cannon, head of the Georgia's Bureau of Investigation's cargo-theft squad, which was launched in 2009. He believes that thefts of consumer goods in particular are "directly related to the economy; people are stealing things that they can get rid of quickly, and consumers are looking for a deal."

Thieves often know what cargo a truck is hauling because they will follow trucks from a plant, according to police.

Thieves drive the whole tractor-trailer away or hitch up to an unattended trailer, as truckers sometimes leave a trailer in a drop lot and drive off in just the tractor for an errand. Typically when stolen, the tractor portion is found close to the site of the theft. The empty trailer is usually found miles away, abandoned, and often repainted or reworked in an effort to disguise the stolen truck.

Cargo theft represents a big concern and cost for trucking and other freight haulers, says J.J. Coughlin, chairman of the SouthWest Transportation Security Council, a nonprofit industry group that represents more than 200 freight-shipping companies. The council estimates that the average loss in each theft is $350,000—and that is just the load inside the truck. "Sometimes you lose that too," he said of the tractor-trailer. Typically, though, the tractor-trailer is found miles away. "We find that thieves target the loads," he said.

Mr. Coughlin said that in an effort to combat the problem, freight shippers have been meeting more with police departments. The shippers have also been pushing owners of truck stops and drop lots to provide better security. "That is easier said than done," he said.

Also, in the past two years, the freight shippers have banded together to try to come up with solutions, such as sharing information about what kinds of loads are most stolen so that when those goods are shipped, everyone in the supply chain can be alerted to pay extra attention.

California, Florida, Texas, Georgia, Illinois and New Jersey are the top states for number of cargo thefts, according to Freigh****ch. The crooks are targeting such things as electronics, food and beverages, clothing, pharmaceuticals and cigarettes.

The thefts can also threaten consumer safety. In February 2009, an unattended refrigerated truck loaded with $11 million of insulin made by Danish drug concern Novo Nordisk A/S was ripped off in Conover, N.C., while the driver was in a truck stop, according to Sgt. Shane Moore, of the Conover police department.

After the theft, the Food and Drug Administration and Novo Nordisk put out a news release, alerted the health-care industry, and advised pharmacies to inspect inventories, said Sean Clements, a company spokesman. Still, some of the stolen vials wound up in the hands of diabetics, several of whom showed up at medical centers in Kentucky and Texas over the summer sickened because the insulin was inactive, said Karen Riley, an FDA spokeswoman.

The FDA's Office of Criminal Investigations is looking into how the drugs were given to patients. Mr. Clements said the stolen insulin did not get to patients through Novo Nordisk's normal distribution. He said the "safety of our patients is of paramount concern," and that the company is working with investigators, and has taken steps to improve security.

Electronics were the target of a thief who struck near midnight on Jan. 13 at a minimart in Hazleton, Pa., two hours north of Philadelphia. A trucker hauling $500,000 of electronics to an Amazon.com Inc. distribution center left his trailer parked there while he made another delivery elsewhere, said Trooper Charles Everdale III, of the Pennsylvania's State Police auto-theft task force. When the trucker returned the trailer was gone, the trooper said. He said the partially empty trailer turned up in recent days in Palm Beach, Fla. Amazon declined to comment.

In the pharmaceutical industry, "most everyone has had some type of cargo theft" with a spike in "high-value loads" stolen over the last two years, said Chuck Forsaith, the director of supply-chain security for a unit of Purdue Pharma LP, a privately held pharmaceutical company in Stamford, Conn., and also director of the Pharma Cargo Security Coalition, an industry group.

Health and well being » Wasp spray for self defense! Jan 28, 2010 08:14 AM (Total replies: 1)

I received this email from a friend of mine and thought it was valuable information.
Ellen


If you don't have a gun, here's a more humane way to wreck someone’s evil plans for you. Did you know this? I didn't. I never really thought of it before. I guess I can get rid of the baseball bat.

Wasp Spray

A friend who is a receptionist in a church in a high risk area was concerned about someone coming into the office on Monday to rob them when they were counting the collection. She asked the local police department about using pepper spray and they recommended to her that she get a can of wasp spray instead.

The wasp spray, they told her, can shoot up to twenty feet away and is a lot more accurate, while with the pepper spray, they have to get too close to you and could overpower you.

The wasp spray temporarily blinds an attacker until they get to the hospital for an antidote. She keeps a can on her desk in the office and it doesn't attract attention from people like a can of pepper spray would. She also keeps one nearby at home for home protection.

Thought this was interesting and might be of use

Maybe even save a life.

Please share this with all the people in your life.

Women In Trucking’s Salute to the Women Behind the Wheel to provide entertainment


One of the goals of Women In Trucking Association is to celebrate the success of women in the industry. The “Salute to the Women Behind the Wheel,” to be held at the Mid-America Trucking Show in Louisville, KY will honor all female professional drivers throughout North America. The celebration will begin at noon Saturday, March 27.

Rob Anthony (www.robanthonymusic.com), singer/songwriter from Wisconsin will be the featured performer. Anthony wrote the song, “Down the Road,” about a professional driver’s life on the road. He captured the mixture of a driver’s longing for his family while being drawn to the freedom on the highway. Anthony’s soulful style of songwriting comes right from the heart where it exuberates emotion. His lyrics are full of passion and life in a way that speaks to every audience. His honest and truthful personal experiences welcome the listener (regardless of their musical tastes).

Terry Wooley (www.terrywooley.com) will be performing, “Lady in the Driver’s Seat.” The song depicts the quiet strength women behind the wheel exhibit as they deliver their freight each day. Wooley wrote the song which all drivers, male or female, can relate to as professionals on the road. You can hear the song at www.womenintrucking.org.

In addition to the entertainment, featured speaker, Anne Ferro, FMCSA Administrator will welcome the drivers and assist in honoring those who have reached a safety milestones. There will be refreshments and lots of free gifts from corporate sponsors. At 1:00 PM female professional drivers will pose for a photo in an effort to beat the Guinness World Record of 416 (set in the Netherlands in 2004).

The event is open to all members of Women In Trucking (regardless of their gender or position) AND is for all female professional drivers, whether they are members of the association or not. However, everyone must register at www.salute2women.com before the event.

Daimler Trucks (www.daimer.com), Frito-lay (www.fritolay.com) and Walmart (www.walmart.com) are Gold Level sponsors of the event. If you are interested in being a sponsor for the Salute to the Women Behind the Wheel, please contact Ellen at Women In Trucking (Ellen@WomenInTrucking.org).

Women In Trucking Association was formed in March 2007 as a nonprofit corporation dedicated to encourage women to explore career opportunities in the trucking industry, to minimize any obstacles that might keep women from succeeding, and to celebrate the success of those already working in the trucking industry. Membership is not limited to women, but anyone who supports its mission. Visit www.WomenInTrucking.org for more information or to become a member.

Here is information about becoming certified as a Women owned business.

You can access this here http://www.nwboc.org/section/basic

Basic Information About WBE Certification for Women-Owned Businesses

This page contains basic information about WBE Certification for women business owners. The "more" links under each section provide in-depth background or related data. In addition, don't miss our Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) page!

WHAT?
WBE Certification stands for Woman Business Enterprise and denotes that a woman (or women) has majority ownership and control of a business entity. WBE Certification is not based on company size, number of employees, or profitability.
More information on the concept and history of WBE Certification

WHO?
Any woman-owned business can apply for WBE Certification if the company meets the criteria of majority ownership and control of the business. By law, majority ownership means at least 51% of the business is owned by a woman or women. This is established through the legal paperwork associated with the business. Also by law, but perhaps less exact, is the concept of control of the business. A woman has control of the business if she is the final decision maker for all aspects of the business - financial, production, contracting, etc. - or she has delegated that authority to an employee manager or another partial owner. WBE Certification is gender-based, not race-based, so a woman of any race can apply.
More information about types of certification for women and minority-owned businesses

WHY?
Women business owners say that WBE Certification is important to them because it adds credibility to their company, as well as being part of their business development strategy. Certification that a business is owned by a woman is required if you wish to participate in programs which require utilization and tracking of woman-owned businesses. Having WBE Certification is the only way the purchasing agents have confidence that a business representing itself as woman-owned is in fact woman-owned. Most publicly held corporations, as well as larger private corporations, track and/or have programs for doing business with women business owners. Also, most local, state, and federal government purchasing agencies track and have programs for doing business with women-owned vendor companies. They, too, rely on WBE Certification.
More information about the benefits of getting WBE Certification through NWBOC.

HOW?
WBE Certification is obtained by applying for it and meeting the criteria. The application requirements include detailed information supplied by the business owner and copies of business documents. Once the application and supporting documentation is received, it is reviewed by the certifying entity. Final steps in the application process include a personal visit to the applicant's place of business. NWBOC has enlisted only the highest qualified, independent individuals to review your application and make site visits. In addition, all reviewers and site visitors have been thoroughly trained by NWBOC.
More information: Overview of the NWBOC application process

WHERE?
Your company can apply right here on this website for WBE Certification! NWBOC is the first national certifier for women business owners, and continues to provide the highest level of WBE Certification services.

Hi Ellen,

I want you to know how much I enjoyed reading your article titled "Women in the Trucking Industry." I absolutely love trucking but there are times when I'm discouraged because it seems to be such a male-dominated industry. I grew up in this business but have only been working full-time for a few years. I refuse to give-up my love for this industry because of others comments directed towards me as a woman. Your article provided such encouragement. Thank you for your words.

Sincerely,
Rachel
