Question regarding tarp thefts

in Texas for a 5 day work week running regional is a good week!!!

 

Well in San Antonio we had a driver drop his trl. to get his trk serviced. 2 hours later he comes back and somebody stole a 24 hp motor out of the back trl unit.
The motor was in a big box setup. they had to swing open the service door and take the top cover off as well to get to the motor.
Broad daylight and nobody saw a thing so they say.
This driver I know him and would trust his word.
Things can happen

 

But did it happen again the following week???

 

it would be to me also,

i think you have your answer on what really happend to your tarps

best of luck to you

 

Well if it were my truck it would be needing a driver.

 

Sounds suspicious,take money out of his check to pay for the second set of tarps.

 

You have no legal recourse against the driver unless someone comes forward as a witness. Until then you should provide a means to secure the tarps, whether being a chain, binder and lock or a locked side box. Sorry, the blame rests completely on the truck owner until he (the truck owner) provides the necessary equipment for the driver to do his job or you have creditable evidence (eye witnesses, money trail, ect.) that the driver is stealing.

 

ya but this happened twice to the same driver.Does'nt it sound alittle fishy to you?Not every compny comes equiped with side boxes ect for tarps and those drivers don't have this much bad luck.Sounds like this driver is selling them.The owner gets equipment to lock the tarps up,that next excuse that driver will use is somebody broke into my side box and stole the tarps.
