That truck has either been parted out already or loaded on a shipping container.

If Volvo then it got shipped somewhere to Eastern Europe or in Chicago.

They steal Volvos? I thought every thief already had one?

24 - 48 hours. If it doesn't show up close by sitting on blocks; it's gone.
I've seen video from a customer n Jersey city showing the perps driving up in a stolen rig, breaking into their tractor and hooking it to our container. 8,000 wine glasses never seen again.
Sometimes the take a container, cut the seal and leave it when they find cargo they can't sell or fence.
Also had the empty container show up 'been sitting here for a year or so'....Rideandrepair Thanks this. -
If it left new york the bridge cameras picked it up. My buddy had that happen in Pa & because they stole the load it showed them crossing the GW. He did recover the truck and trailer no load. If it's worth it you can check.

R model Macks, fold the mirrors and fit two to the shipping container.....a lot of tired puppy's were exported...Rideandrepair and bzinger Thank this. -
The Qualcomm/Omnitracs has a GPS tracker, but can nowadays be easily removed, at least their newest version, the IVG. It’s just a device with one cord connecting to the truck. Nothing complicated. I installed mine myself.
It’s better to buy an actual GPS tracker device from Amazon. You can hide it really good in your truck/trailer if you leave for time off. Mine is a monthly subscription, but I cancel it if I won’t be using it.Rideandrepair Thanks this. -
Thanks for all your replies. Truck was out the city the same night. Never recovered. I have a new truck on the road. And all I will say is I am much more equipped and prepared. For my truck and trailer
