    Not generally for company drivers.
    SOMEbody will always forget or lose the key.
    And there are those who'll just keep 'em to sell 'em.

    O/O's would be more likely to use 'em.

    Besides, if a thief REALLY wants the fuel badly enough, they'll tear up a tank to get it. The cost of fuel probably would be less expensive than a tank repair or replacement, --- especially when the down-time is factored in.

    Yea, it was similar to the one in the video there but it was the aluminum version that completely covered the cap. Might have to look into getting a couple of those...had 100 gallons of diesel siphoned off last month...#### that hurt!
