    (I wanted to put this under Bad Companies but figured this might get more eyeballs.)

    So the rumor is that Falcon dumped loaded trailers. When Arrow did this eventually shippers and receivers found this website, joined the forum and started asking about missing loads and trailers.

    So this time, I thought I'd be a little pro-active. If anyone spots a Falcon truck/trailer where it shouldn't be post the hull number and location in this thread, that way maybe we can get the info to any authorities that might need it. Pictures if possible but not required.

    If there's no activity in this thread for six months, mods can lock & delete it.

    Tractors are blue and green, black and green, or white and green depending on year and division.

    Man, that's really helpful to have the name on the side.
    But why should I help Falcon find dey stuff?

    Seems to me, had they paid their drivers to bring dey stuff to the yard, dey'd know where dey stuff was.
    Jus sayin

    Just report the trailer being somewhere where it doesn't belong. How would we know if it's loaded?

    Tire shops, large distribution centers, truckstops where trucks sit a long time, boneyards. Etc.

    Falcon doesn't exist anymore.
    You would be helping businesses find loads, creditors finding lost inventory.

    Or maybe it's just a big game of punch buggy.

    You wouldn't be helping Falcon. You'll be helping their poor customers like GM....

    Actually it's more that you would be helping the supplier for GM they pulled out of.

    See what happens is when a load is delivered to GM it's brought in on racks or other shipping container that is specific to that part. GM unloads the full racks and fills up the trailer with empties. Those are then taken back to the supplier, which repeats the process keeping the trailers with something in them almost always.
    The empty racks are stored at the supplier, but are owned by GM.
    So just about any trailer spoted will have something in it, even if just racks.
