Update: It’s Not 1,400 Stolen Playstation 2′s – Try 5,000

We wrote a story yesterday about more than 1,400 Playstation 2′s stolen from a tractor trailer in Florida, USA. Well, after contacting Brian Kurtz trucking and speaking to one of their representatives who said that there was 50 Playstation 2 consoles per pallet, the story has been corrected. Apparently there was more than 1,400 Playstation 2 consoles stolen – it is more around 5,000 which has an estimated street value of about $750,000. Robert Arden Fisher, 61, told Lopez that he parked the rig in the rear parking lot of BJ’s Wholesale Warehouse, located at 1155 Palm Bay Road in Melbourne, at 1:30 p.m. Saturday and then went to visit a friend in Palm Bay.

Lopez said Fisher told him that when he returned at 7:15 a.m., he found that the rig was missing and immediately contacted his company and authorities.Fisher told Lopez the trailer was secured with a U.S. Customs lock and a personal padlock. He said the truck itself also was locked. The rig was described as a royal blue 2007 Kenworth T2000 bearing Ontario registration, valued at $150,000, according to Brian Kurtz Trucking. The trailer is a white with blue trim Stoughton semi-rig valued at $50,000.

The final GPS signal showed the rig was in the vicinity of a baseball field parking lot near Seminole Platt Whitney Road and East Downers Drive, a police report shows.

    Truck sat-nav

    There are a number of restrictions that the truck drivers face, while they are on the go. These are pertaining to their vehicle and its use on the various routes. One way to avoid such restrictions as hurdles is to do the route planning; but what if there was no time to plan the journey? In such cases, Truck sat-nav systems are extremely useful as they save the time spent on route planning and assist you even in those circumstances, which were not foreseen during the route planning. It also save the time and fuel of the vehicle because there is no need to turn the vehicle back after finding that the route is not suitable for the vehicle. The truck sat-nav warns beforehand, about such roads and therefore relieves the truck drivers from the hassles.

    HGV sat-nav

    The heavy goods vehicles need an installation of the satellite navigation system during their course of transportation. This is because the drivers of such vehicles usually have to embark on long journeys that are full of unknown routes. These routes may or may not be the routes allowed for the HVGs to embark on. Therefore, the drivers of such heavy goods vehicle insist on installing the most advanced HGV sat-nav that can warn them about the various routes and the ways that are not suitable for the HVGs. There also are some low bridges and such other bridges that do not allow the heavy weight vehicles. Further, the Heavy Goods Vehicles face the problem due to their width. Since they are extremely wide and most of the times long also, these vehicles cannot take any other road for their transport. An effective HGV sat-nav warns the user about the narrow roads.nding that the route is not suitable for the vehicle. The truck sat-nav warns beforehand, about such roads and therefore relieves the truck drivers from the hassles.
