Seeking nationwide visibility? Keep an eye out for Truckersworld - they can really deliver ...

Truckersworld is a Theft Text Alert System aimed at fighting the criminals who undertake vehicle theft.

Truck drivers in the UK are registering on the site as extra "eyes on the road", locating stolen vehicles.

As Truckersworld is notified of a vehicle theft, they text out the details to lorry drivers who are registered to receive the information - and then act to help find the stolen vehicles.

"Due to the lack of police resources, recovery of stolen vehicles is rare, but with thousands of extra eyes the chance of recovery is increased. The alert system has started with theft of lorries but will expand further if successful.

"As criminals start to recognise that the theft of vehicles is being broadcast by text to lorry drivers nationwide, this will act as a deterrent, thus helping to reduce both thefts and insurance costs. The system is endorsed by ACPO (the Association of Chief Police Officers) and Truckpol.

"We all need to fight against crime".
