    On the side of the building. Pointing at where trucks/trailers are parked. Aswell as entrance gates and or entrance points. Basically anywhere of importance/value.

    Enquire if they have cameras. If not is it viable for you to put some in for peace of mind. Or better to get your own yard?

    One other thing. Do own you the trailers and trucks? If so. Install GPS trackers.

    Whatever you can afford that you can sign Into and track online. eBay and Amazon have plenty to choose from. Whatever you get you want to have a main power source and its own backup power.

    Don't put all of your faith into cameras. I had video from a Pilot where a truck busted the hood on my bobtail tractor several years ago. You could see everything plain as day except for the lettering on the truck and the tags were nice and blurry. They drove off and got away with it. There was nothing that could be done. Now I'm not saying don't get cameras. I think you should. Just don't get a false sense of security from them. They might deter some instancrs but they're not going to stop someone who is determined. And unless you get lucky getting crystal clear video that can plainly identify anyone most times you'll just have a video of someone on it stealing or damaging your property that is a whole lotta nothing. Cops don't care either.

    Still no luck on the trailer. They stole our break and butter.

    Tried looking at some surroundings but no luck.

    You need to lease a trailer and get rolling.
