    That won't stop it from going out on the road unless the driver is riding the brakes.

    Met a fellow that left his refer for the weekend at Nestle frozen foods in Edmonton. Because he was suspicious of previous goings on. He wrote down his hub miles.
    Comes back Monday night. Refer is out of fuel and hub had four hundred miles on it. They used it to run a load down and back to Calgary.

    Next time he needs a GPS and a remote kill switch on the reefer. Watch them panic when it dies 50 miles out.

    No but he will probably think twice if he is only looking for an empty.. he will look for an easier target. Nothing will stop a determined thief.

    That's why I have a spare glad hand and a wrench.

    I had a specific trailer that was set to go to Canada and the company had put a gladhand lock on it. I just picked it. They're ridiculously terrible locks in any of those but the defenders. 4 pin wafer locks at best with nonexistent bitting.

    yeah they look kinda flimsy they certainly wont stop a determined individual. I lost the keys to one of those kingpin locks once i just took a hammer and a screw driver to it in 10 minutes i had it on the floor
