    That’s dandy and all until the actual owners start looking for the tractor!!

    I dunno, if you're real aggressive about it you could switch off the build plates. Say take an out of service '98 Great Dane with tons of issues and swap it for a decent condition 07'. Heck, even stripping it for parts might be worth thousands and you might not get caught. If the banks/creditors don't lock these trailers down quick they might start missing tires, lights, rims, airsprings, etc.

    Nowadays though everything is LoJacked. Not to mention they stamp VIN numbers everywhere on the chassis. And good luck getting it serviced if a reputable shop does a VIN check and realizes that it’s hotter than a prostitute’s *** on a Saturday night!!!

    Out of principle, I would park it and rent a car.

    Lol, I can't get them to change the missing/torn mudflap while they're changing the tire. Now they're gonna get all Nancy Drew on chassis stampings?

    When it rains molten glass beads for you to breathe in, as you drown in pain remember that no one told you a #### thing about that asteroid.

    Ive always thought that if we must get hit, make it a good strong fat one coming in vertical so that we can get all of that over and done with.

    Yes they will.
    When you invest over $100,000 in equipment,you’re going to do whatever it takes to protect that investment. Even if it means stamping everything. F***, I have a Kia Rio and they even went so far as to stamp the floor pan underneath the carpeting!!

    I guess the Lordstown and that Trane plant north of Indy staying open were “fake news”.

    Its got nothing to do with "principles". If I decide to quit, they will expect me to return it, in goos condition, to the terminal they gave it to me at. I'm figuring that doesnt change because they quit before I did. Im being so principled that I am willing to use my money to get their truck back where I got it from. While it may not be legal, no valid insurance among other things, morals and principles arent relevant when they just stranded hundreds of hardworking employees miles from home. I am not advocating theft, vandalism or anything. Just returning the equipment in good condition back to where I got it from.

    A respectable company closing and telling drivers is one thing. Just ceasing operations with limited notice is another. You said it yourself your willing to operate a commercial motor vehicle illegally. No insurance, no authority, and its your license. I have ever bit of respect for respectful people. They didnt care were their drivers or equipment was because its not thiers anymore. Guess this is why Im self employed and take no crap from anyone. My cdl would be secure for my future and family in a rental car heading home. Plus they were cut rate scabs.
