    Is it unheard of for replacement drivers, working for a company whose drivers are on strike, to abandon trailers? If this is known to happen what sorts of locations do they drop those trailers?

    Hi street beater,
    No actually, I am a member of the Market Basket family in Massachusetts. I don't know if you had heard anything that has gone on here in the past six weeks but, we had a large labor dispute and all of our drivers were striking. We had replacement come in which were hired by the company. Now that all is settled and we are back in operation, it appears many of our trailers are missing. I am wondering if there are locations known that I could be looking. I figured who better to ask.

    Sorry just the jack ### in me, but you might want to get the cops involved on this one.

    I am sure when a full list of trailer numbers is complied they will be, however, as I am sure you are aware sometimes the people themselves can as well prove to be a powerful tool in locating these trailers and then informing the correct authorities and individuals to pick them up. I am just looking on advice on where to search. Please. :)
