    I do a lot of drop and hooks that require empty trailers to have load locks in them, because, duh. I have been picking up more and more trailers that weren't packed with load locks. Or picking up empties that don't have spare load load locks. God forbid you drop a trailer that doesn't have them, but don't expect these people to use them. It's a scam. Dock workers selling them for drugs or something, keeping you longer at the dock. I don't know. I am just tired of it.

    That's been going on a long time.
    Ask "Where are the load locks?" and the answer usually is, "Another driver picked them up."
