    Come to think of it, I have not seen a single tractor pulling a trailer with a best buy logo. How does best buy get it's merchandise?

    There used to be a company called Keystone Logistics, that pulled Best Buy trailers around here.

    Makes them easy hijacking targets. Why would you advertise a full load of expensive electronic gadgets.

    If they were going to do that it would be like putting a sign on it that says "Hey, cargo thieves: Look in this trailer! Contains electronics."

    They are lucky to be able to afford brick and mortar and all of the madness associated with that (property upkeep, payroll, taxes, etc..)at this point.

    In central Florida Koch Trucking has the majority of Best Buy accounts. Years ago Werner was sending us to Wabash to pick up brand new white dry vans to drop them off at a Best Buy DC somewhere on the east coast. Forgot.

    Yes,a trailer full of computers,cigarettes orOxycotin,narcotics is a jackpot for thieves.

    Probably the same reason that Walmart is switching to plain white trailers. They're tired of seeing their branded trailers on the national news in the ditch, behind a Swift tractor.
