stolen trailer lights

Post Removed.

 

You sound like you have sticky fingers! Going to the shop is part of your job. Put your problems off on another driver is BS. That ain't the way it's suppose to work dude! You don't need to be training if you have that mentality.

Bulldog, rivet them lights in might deter them.

 

Attention:

A thief had replied first to bulldogfan's post with how clever he was to have stolen spare parts from trucks, went into detail, and said he teaches all his students his methods. Very helpful... Now history... Thanks TTR monitors!

CondoCruiser's above post rightfully called out the dude... THAT is what the first part of his post is in response to...

Carry on...

 

You can use steel rivets, not those cheap pop rivets you buy at a hardware store or WalMart or in the truck stop.

Or you can weld a 3 piece small bar at 1/3 points around the light. NOT heli arc but gas weld then spray pain them so they blend in. It will at least make them work to steal them! Riveting them will slow them down a little but if they have a cordless drill then they can drill the rivets out in a heart beat! The welding of small bars or flat steel will slow them down even more!
You can have real rivets "driven" in and the steel welded at a trailer shop. They have the tools to do the work!

Now if these are company trailers I would just go in the shop and get a few light bulbs to replace the ones that a POS thief or broke arsed O/O or L/P driver steals from you or that moron company driver that doesn't have the intelligence to go in and buy a bulb and turn in the receipt! I have a bank bag that I keep bulbs and fuses and other electronic stuff in.

 

well i'm glad you straighted that out, because until i read YOUR posting, i thought otherwise....

i think it could have/would have been more beneficial IF the mods or admin just deleted the words in the posting (and said something like "content deleted" and left the persons name there, so we could have followed along much better.

because frankly "condo", i was ready to level YOU for what YOU said....as I THOUGHT you were accusing the o/p...........

to the mods/admins, skipping/deleting an entire posting,(instead of just deleting the content), and saying, "content deleted by staff", can make others think differently of another posters response. making for ill feelings or saying something that can not be taken back, and hurting friendships.

 

I'd seen, read and had been disgusted by the first respondent's post last night, then gone elsewhere. Later, I noticed CondoCruiser had spoken up, and came to take a look. There was THEN, NO SIGN of offensive post, which made Condo look silly, or worse. I couldn't very well leave the boy hanging out there, knowing what REALLY had set him off...

Thanks again to the Mods and Admin...

 

lol, sorry I didn't clarify which post! Post #2 pissed me off what he said because I deal with pass on repairs all the time. Especially when your company has a large majority of lease drivers that have to pay out of pocket. The company driver gets stuck with the repairs. I refuse to fall in that category. His signature is rather ironic.

Yep bulldog, it sure is.
