    Sounds like its a way for immature kids to play a joke on another driver starting out just because they can and will most likely get away with it. Personally, I think is childish and that you need to grow the #### up. Its not a ####### joke to take advantage of another driver like that. Yeah they should be checking to make sure the dogs havent come unlatched, but at the same time they shouldnt have to worry about the manchild 2 trucks down that has a grudge against him or his company.


    I pity that poor schmuck that I catch attempting to do mine.

    I'll admit that there have been times when I have wanted to do it, like when someone "parks" on the fuel island and goes to take a shower, to drive home the message that those spaces out lined in yellow are for that- however I consider myself a professional and in the words of Sheriff Buford T. Justice:
    "Oh You can think about it- just don't do it!"

    This ranks right -up there with abandoning a truck while still under a load......no need for it , and it accomplishes nothing except for the damage it causes. Have a problem with another hand / he has you blocked-in / cut you off on the road / etc...take it up with him ftf!....no need to tear-up thousands of $$$ worth of equipment.

    I agree. Take something out on the driver if you have a beef with him/her. Although pulling someone's pin might cause them considerable grief, just think of any innocents that might get hurt if the trailer makes it out to the road then gets loose.
     
    SheepDog and Tonythetruckerdude Thank this.

    With video cameras in more and more places recording almost everything you do in public, especially at places like a truck stop parking area, a rest stop, or wherever trucks are parked, someone would have to be doubly crazy to pull a stunt like this. And it is a crime as well. I hope playing a little 5th grade prank is worth it to the person who is charged with Felony destruction of property since the value of a load on a truck is enough of a dollar amount for a felony. Not to mention all the other charges.
     
    SHO-TYME, SheepDog and bergy Thank this.
