    The sad part is that when he is caught he will have to pay a fine and will face up to 1 year in jail.
    There is allot of incentive to steal trailers and loads, but not allot of a penalty for getting caught. This is why many gangs are getting into the business. They can make allot of money and as long as they do not use weapons or hurt anyone while stealing the load they do not face any hard time.

    and like this situation shows, usually these high dollar heists have someone either very familiar or still employed by the company.
