    So I pull into a truck stop today, and see one of my companies trailer dropped with no kingpin lock (which they issue in orientation), and no padlock (which the issue in orientation). I can tell from the seal it’s one of our highest value loads.

    Do you say A. “not my problem” or B. Call dispatch and make them aware of the situation.?

    Mind your own business, the truck could be in the shop, take a look, and talk with the driver,

    Not your problem. Minding your own business keeps the bad karma away.

    Try finding the driver first you'd hate to make his day even worse if he's in the shop for something
