  Anyone use a DeWalt mobilelock GPS system

EW there are lots of them out there. We looked at Qualcom and ended up at Itrak. We currently use about 300 devices and they have an intial cost plus monthly charges. I have 20 devices here.

They have helped our bottom line. Just keeping track of the trucks daily activities more than pays for it. The mobile equipment is another issue. If it's not where you left it the night before and it takes hours or days to locate, plus fix, how much is the production lost time worth?

Shop around. We looked at straight satelite systems and settled for GPS plus celluar. We may up grade our truck fleet with the engine connection to monitor idle and operating telemerty.

EW None for sale all installed. The best one is in the mechanics truck. Try keeping track of one of those guys.

The systems have a thing called "GEO FENCING" You set a area and if the equipment is moved from that area a message goes out to/by phone, email, to law or a private person or you depending what arrangements you have made with the provider.

The systems are pretty cool to use.

I would think based on previous treads concerning security on/at job sites this would work on your large tool boxes and storage containers.

The FEDS are working on a plan to have permenant mounted devices on all tanker type trucks. These will message if they are tampered with in anyway or moved etc.

So the technology is there already for your small stuff.
