    Not in the Midwest, they aren't. Sounds like a culture problem and you don't even realize its a problem. Its THEFT.

    Anything can happen anywhere... but there is a reason several yards at the border make the drivers remove all the lights and grommets and put them in a plastic bag to be re-issued when the trailer leaves the yard. Its literally that rampant. Got LEDs? Not anymore!

    I know there is not much action in this forum. However many things have changed. DEF and ULSD are everywhere. Instead of old Dinas there are thousands of Cascadias and 680's. Some with thousands of LED's. Well not thousands but lots! Even decent trailers. Lots of car carriers taking them to the US border.There are some decent truck stops but still not many.

    I saw a YouTube video a few months back (en espanol...) where they showed a large Mexican truckstop. It reminded me of some of those larger American truckstops from the 60's or 70's that were on their way out when I was driving in the early 90's....
