    Used to haul 53' containers from LA to Atlanta worth 800k full of Bose merchandise with dispatch calling me every half hour and if I had to take a piss I had to ask for permission.

    Maybe the guy was making a big deal about the load on purpose. Might be trying to set some thieves up.

    My company had a trailer come up stolen from a truckstop in Georgia this past week. Load of shingles. Kinda surprised that it got stolen. We're not allowed to separate the units without safety approval, and dropping the trailer at a ts...huge violation of policy
