Green Mack Explosives Emulsion
Truck Reported Stolen
An explosives company representative reported that a green 1989 Mack truck with a white body was stolen from their facility on 11-10-2005.
The truck is geared very low so it cannot travel at a high rate of speed (30-35 max). It is believed that the truck was taken away on either a low-boy tractor trailer rig or towed away.
This truck was designed and made for the specific purpose of mixing explosives material on site, so it is not a licensed or registered vehicle. The truck serial #1M2B192C2KW002152 and the rear portion serial number is TREADBED 2042.
PLEASE NOTE: These pictures are of a similar type and model however; the actual cab color of the missing truck is green.

Highway ISAC Statement: This particular vehicle is designed for mixing and delivering explosives while on a job site. In general, trucks of this nature do not drive on the highway and are either towed or have a tractor-trailer low-boy rig deliver it to a job site.
Once on the site, the trucks are used to mix and prepare explosives. There is no known terrorism nexus associated with this truck.
However, because of its use in the preparation of explosives the Highway Community is asked to use its considerable “Road Smarts” and support in locating this vehicle.
The approximate value of this particular type of rig is $150, 000 - $230,000, dependent upon the use of either aboveground or below-ground operations. This particular vehicle was set-up for above ground open-pit mining operations.
It is equipped with two tanks; an emulsion tank of 7,400 capacity (wet) tank and a secondary 18,000 lbs capacity (dry) tank. This vehicle is a regular key-start vehicle
