It's Swift's mt, not yours. If you're not dispatched, you can't hold the trailer and you could be out $40 for a lock.
Another tip ... If you're at a terminal and there are no mts, go to the trailer shop. See if there are any trailers they're finishing up.
Empty trailers.

If I’m there for 24+ hours then obviously I’ll give up my mt but if I’m there for one night then I consider it mine just like if I was anywhere else. It’s not like I haven’t done tons of trailer solutions myself. Go find your own mt, this one is taken.
(Also, being in the Costco fleet I know that I’ll always need an mt for my next load unless it’s a back haul.)CK73 Thanks this. -
I could have bobtailed to the pickup, but I didn't want to give my DM the option it was ok to give my mty away without consequences. -
You guys make it sound like this is so cut-throat, like every driver and dm is out to get you. Hell, I don't talk to anybody at Swift for days/weeks sometimes, and when I do talk to my DM it's always great, we talk about cars and crawfish and how crappy kids can be and ####. Did I get lucky?

Another tip ... Check the High Value line. Drivers will put a seal on an mt and try to hide it there.Box of Tj Thanks this. -
That's why I use the enforcer, kingpin, and gladhand lock around the holidays when it really counts. If you defeat my triple play well good for you Houdini but let's be real it ain't happening. -

Path of least resistance. Is not defeating 3 locks. I am disapoint at you.

It costs Swift only a little time to remove them, but then you would have to replace them on your dime if you ever wanted to pull that 'trick' again.
Mystic is right - it is not your trailer.
I will put a seal on it to try and hold it, but I would never risk nearly $100 on locks to do it.
