    Yeah, scare them a little bit isn't real good advice. I was shot at by a dead beat who didnt bother to make their payment back when I was a repo man. I ran as fast as my fat ### could go. Grabbed my cell phone, and called the cops. In the mean time that idiot jumped in his truck tore up his yard, and then hit the road. Crashed his truck (nobody was even chasing him when he crashed), hurt a couple of other people when he crashed. Cops took him to jail, he later went to prison.

    While the cops were chasing him I leisurely took possession of his car with the help of a local sheriff officer.

    BTW, how hard is it to keep up on payments of such a low dollar ticket item like a dirt bike LOL???:biggrin_25523: Were talking what? $5 thousand maybe?

    it's not that funny i lost my job the day after i bought it and bought my house. it was 6k, 100 bucks a month. i wasnt able to work because i hurt myself on the dirtbike, i broke my collar bone in 3 places. i've ridden bikes for years and never had a serious crash, it was my time. again i dont really see how me not keeping up on bills is funny in anyway shape or form just because its a low dollar ticket item. but if you wanna laugh then you can laugh away i'm glad my misfortune brings you laughter.

    Most of the large trucking companies have a couple of dedicated people or teams. That do nothing but recovery for the company. Sometimes they will send a newbie out to recover a truck to put them in the seat. Smaller companies and lenders may use a recovery/repo company to gain repossession of equipment. Many variables to how big or small the company is and dollar amount of the equipment.

    Your original post is vague, so it would help to know what your actually asking here ? Are looking for people to interview ? or Are you looking for this type of work ? Are you trying to repossess some equipment ? Answer some of these questions and you might get the response your looking for.

    Thanks -

    Sorry about my message being vague. Yes, I am looking for
    people who do this kind of work for research. I have been looking
    around for a while, and of course using google, etc., but this site
    is home to the real deal so I thought the guys and gals would know
    of such people.

    Very dirty and disgusting job! For any of you that want to do it I am sure you won't have to wait in line. You would be surprised what disgruntled drivers do to those trucks! Hell even when they aren't doing stuff to them on purpose they can be pretty bad. We did it three times. Twice we had to refuse driving them. They don't make enough vaccine's to cure what we could have contracted driving them!

    I'm from the Boston MA area (northeasten USA) and have repossession experience.

    Not only do I have a CDL Class A and driving experience; I also have locksmithing/automotive locksmithing experience - i.e. door/ignition lock picking, pass VATS transponder keys.

    I can crack safes too (seriously) haha!

    Alot of the used trucks are very easy to repo.

    If you bought it in the last 5 years or so,

    there is most likely a bug planted in it.

    They just drive right to it, no keys needed, simple as can be.

    My Wife and I repo big rigs for a living. We stay as busy as we want. Sometimes I do it solo but the cost of going back after a personal vechicle kills the profits. Its better if your a team if your going to do this work. And I would recomend a can of tear gas, stungun, and a pistol if you can get licensed.
