Based on this you would need 78 Semi-Trailer Trucks to haul the gold away, using the years 1995-1998 as the years the gold could moved, you could stagger the removal rate at about one truck 1 1/2 per month.

Using the night and high pace of military activity at Fort Knox, I think you could move some of the gold without to many people knowing

FYI here is the math

4,578 metric ton = 4,578,000 kilograms,
Semi-Trailer Maximum Weight (Triple Wheel): 59,000 kg

I think we should keep in mind the US Government would only move a limited ammount of the gold not alll the gold
