    Whenever my truck goes in for service, the company mechanics go through my personal belongings. It's far too consistent to be random acts of individuals. It doesn't matter which terminal it is. Things I've noticed: medications, bags. I think the company is looking for illegal drugs. Does anyone else have this experience?

    Buy a rubber snake and put it in something you know they’re going to get into, usually stops that one guy

    Interesting that there are not locks on semis. Guess you buy a portable safe.

    It's company policy for multi terminal carriers. You signed the paperwork to be subject for search on company property. For drugs and weapons.

    They are probably looking for money or something to steal. I'd report it.

    TMC used to do it. Maybe still do. But they told you in orientation to expect it.
