Onboard Computers Are Gaining Acceptance Among Truck Drivers After Initial Skepticism




  Onboard computers, which many drivers and fleet managers greeted with much skepticism when they were introduced, have become a popular in-cab device, according to several users. The onboard computers help drivers plan routes, find truck stops, and better communicate with customers.
 Technology is changing just about every aspect of our lives these days, although some resist trying to keep up, it can help, as the truck drivers are seeing first hand. Anything that helps get our products and services to use safer, quicker and more efficient, I am all for it.

Porsche stolen in 1986 found on container ship headed to the Netherlands

After a man's red Porsche was stolen in Las Vegas in 1986, he had given up on finding the sports car, claimed the insurance money, and moved on with his life.

The man, Peter O'Toole, received quite the blast from the past when he found out that the car was found on a container ship in California bound for the Netherlands.

Now living in Oregon where he owns a construction company, Mr O'Toole hadn't thought much about his red sports car of yesteryear since he claimed the insurance money for the used car he bought from a German man for $17,000.


Quite the ride: This 1976 Porsche was stolen in Las Vegas in 1986 and found in October aboard a container ship leaving Los Angeles headed for the Netherlands

'I wasn't even a sports car guy, but I loved that car,' he told AOL Autos. 'I was a cool dad in that car.'

When he bought the car, Mr O'Toole was living in Las Vegas, working as a pit boss at the Barbary Coast casino. The car was stolen the evening of November 24, 1986 as Mr O'Toole went in for a workout at his local gym.

Fast forward a quarter of a century, and shipyard officials realized the car was one of 24 stolen cars on the same ship.

Given inflation and the increased value that comes with the age of the car, Mr O'Toole's former ride is now worth $27,000.


Raking up the miles: Since it was stolen in Las Vegas, the car has covered much of the United States in the past 25 years

The container held a total of 100 cars with varying issues: 24 were stolen like Mr O'Toole's, 63 were undeclared, seven had lower valuations than necessary and six had false documentation.

The total value of the questionable cars on board rings in at roughly $1.8million.

While it may look the same on the outside, the Porsche that Mr O'Toole used to call his own has changed over the years.

Since it was stolen, it has been registered in  Florida, Washington, and New Jersey.

(Also, when found on the boat, it was missing it's engine. If found with the engine, the collector's car would have been worth over $80,000, but it is thought that a new engine could be installed in Europe to allow for higher driving speeds.)

Though the car was found in the Los Angeles Long Beach ship yard on October 25, Mr O'Toole had not been notified of it's discovery until a reporter from AOL Autos rang him for the story.

'Really?' Mr O'Toole said when hearing of the find.

'I'm going to go look this up,' he said

Tracking device leads to Nigeria car theft ring in Houston

A hit on a LoJack device from a stolen Honda by a state trooper driving over the Ship Channel bridge led to the bust of an international car theft ring at the Port of Houston, KHOU-TV (Channel 11) is reporting.
“We located the signal from a container yard where there were probably 40 to 50 containers being stacked,” said Senior Officer Jim Woods with the Houston Police Department.
With help from the Port of Houston Police and U.S. Customs and Border Protection, one by one, the containers were taken down. A few hours later the car was found tightly packed and ready to be shipped to Nigeria.
The discovery of the stolen vehicle at the port turned out to be just the tip of the iceberg. … HPD had stumbled on to a sophisticated auto theft ring.
It turned out the cars had been stolen by a man who posed as a car buyer in Dallas. He would take a car for a test drive and never return.
KHOU reported the person connected with the shipment is from Garland, Texas, but is not cooperating with authorities.

Snowbird Car Shipping & Seasonal Auto Transport

 Snowbirds in car shipping are defined as people from the US Northeast,US Midwest and Canada who spend a large portion of the winter months in their southern home location(California,Arizona,Texas,Florida)  and travel north for the summer months.
  Most snowbirds are retires or business owners who have a home in both a southern location and a northern location. Car shipping for snowbirds can increase the auto shipping industries demand for cars shipped by 25% at the beginning of spring and fall. Such an increase in the auto transport industry can make it harder to find trucks with available space at those times. Paragon Transport will make the process easy for snowbirds and seasonal car transports.
 It is best to book your seasonal transport 2 to 4 weeks prior to the shipping date to be sure your auto transport is secured. Paragon Transport takes reservations for snowbirds at anytime, no deposit required. Getting a quote or booking your seasonal transport is easy, call now or apply online to get your car shipping quote.
 Paragon Transport also offers a round trip discount on the second part of the transport. Call an agent today to learn more about our snowbird and seasonal car shipping service.
