Truck Theft Alert "Driver sign up"

UK PROFESSIONAL DRIVERS FORUMS THE UK PROFESSIONAL DRIVERS FORUM (INTERACTIVE)

Another website that I don’t know whether I can put on here has set up a Lorry Theft Alert by text, and is asking for drivers to sign up to the scheme. It has been published in all trucking media yet no mention on here anywhere.

Whatever the differences between websites, Truck Crime involves us all and should get the support to make it work.

It is a simple method for drivers to sign up then receive a text to tell them the details of stolen vehicles, making drivers the eyes on the road.

Got to be a good thing with hijackings and drivers getting assaulted.

If a Mod or Admin wish to mention the site it is up to you. If not a reason would be appreciated.

Well done Trucknetuk

good to see a link to the site for signing up’

As It says on there, truckcrime should be the one thing that we should all stand up and fight against, never know who the next victim might be.

I am a victim and it took a long time to get over it, hence why I am trying to get you involved in signing up, Cost you nothing, takes about one minute, and imagine the pleasure if you are able to inform police where the stolen vehivle is being unloaded.

Thanks Rikki for allowing it

although i have not personally been a victim, i would hate to think of any of my online colleagues being victims. thanks enough of an excuse for me to get involved

again, thanks to Rikki for both permission and sorting the link out.

thanks to John too for bringing this to the attention of everyone here

My pleasure Scanny77
I look around all the froums out there but in all truth rarely post unless I think it is something important. Not one for just chatting :laughing: :laughing:

Something like this Text alert, is something that could help beat the crims, and I am surprised there has not been more comments on here and was surprised to find it near the bottom of the page.

Maybe when you get smacked over the head from behind and end up in hospital, then you will take more notice.

Come on drivers join up to it, what you got to lose, what do you reckon■■?

It sounds pretty ■■■■ sensible to me, having seen first hand how low a priority the police give truck crime… :open_mouth: :wink:

Tim has passed his thanks on to all concerned with the alert, not sure yet whether it was a alert member or not yet.
But a result whichever way.
Thanks

Got my text alert along with the rest of you and had my eyes peeled for the stolen vehicle.

Good to see it got a quick result and if drivers can start to show we are looking out for them can only bring us credit in the industry.

The more drivers that sign up to the alerts has got to be better in the chances of finding it.
Could possibly do with some major publicity. :smiley: :smiley: :smiley:

How about it Andy www.roadtransport.com :question: :question: the sort of thing you should be publicising on the new website and proving your link to drivers.

Await my next alert.

I didn’t get the text.

I was in Germany when it went out, but that shouldn’t make any difference.
