Why Some Shippers Are So Uptight

I came across this article, The Curious Case of the Disappearing Nuts, and thought it was interesting enough to share. Hopefully none of you nuts get any bad ideas from it.

"In California, millions of dollars' worth of almonds, walnuts, and pistachios are disappearing. Farmers are perplexed, the cops are confused, and the crooks are getting richer."

"Before I left, Andrei gestured toward the shipping dock where his truck was parked and explained how easy it would be to execute a theft. 'No security, no cameras, nobody else,' he said. 'It’s simple—you’ve got a truck, you can change your motor-carrier number, DOT number, name, license plate.' I asked if he believed that the people who hired him were part of a larger group. 'My opinion,' he said, pausing, 'yes.'"

Yeah - some of the double-entendres in the article are pretty funny too. Hard to keep straight face, when you're writing about NUTS.

Just sayin.

I second you on that one Rick, people in the office were wondering why I was laughing so hard. lol Had a client who had a trailer loaded with expensive wine stolen, they were worth in the millions but luckily he had put in a GPS in the trailer and they were able to catch the guys red handed while they were off loading the trailer.
