I was wondering why something from that crap warranted a QC message

Two things ... first, not that it really happens that often, but why screw with another companies trailer. In the end you're not really impacting the company to any degree. But you will be making some otherwise innocent driver's day miserable. Maybe even impacting their career.

Second don't kid yourself. The megas don't haul cheap freight. They get just as much or more than anyone else on the premium lanes. But what they do that no one else does or likes to do is pull the cheap lanes. Why, because they have to service their large national accounts. Accounts that have locations where nobody goes or wants to go.

When I was running a a lot of I 5 Cali , Oregon , Washington GTI (Gordon trucking inc) the blue trucks were having big problems with people stealing there trailer wheels and tires. These even put out a reward if someone caught who was doing it. When I drove for J&R Schugell a qc message came across saying someone was drilling lag bolts into the sidewalls of there tires ... sad but true

Is that ACTUALLY true?

I mean, think about it, a lag bolt, into the sidewall of a 100 psi pressurized vessel. Lets assume i took a tire, filled it correctly while it was on the ground still and handed you a drill and lag. How much do i have to pay you before you go do it?

And im supposed to beleive people are randomly doing this for fun/malice?

Similarly the 5th wheel thing, yes im sure that stuff occasionally happens, but everything that the qc message is talking about LOOKS a lot more like driver negligence and trying to blame someone else than actual hoodlum vandalization
