Truck Bounty Hunters

Not in America.
A private detective is your closest bet. But I find it hard they could do anything at all.
There were a few specials about stolen cargo on the truck channel on sirus radio.

stealing a truck means cops get involved and so does the fbi in some cases or atf.
defaulting on a loan is another story.
stealing means you have 5-10 years looking at you.
defaulting means you have a sheriff find you and arrest you until you produce collector.
one is breaking the law and the other is breach of contract.
neither actions results in a bounty hunter type trying to find you. thats for the movies and fake tv shows.

 

Most I ever heard was a guy I met at USA Truck. He didn't "run loads" but they paid him to drive recovered trucks back to the shop. Company flew him all over the country, I guess local repo guys would catch him at the airport, and he'd drive the tractor back to Van Buren.

I met him at the Shreveport Terminal. He'd just "recovered" a truck that had made it's way down to Mexico. Brand new Kenny, they found it sitting on cinderblocks. Word was the interior was torched.

Apparently they made it as legal as they could at the Laredo terminal, (they have a very limited repair facility there) then the next closest company shop was in Louisiana. Most of the Kennys had aluminum wheels, this one was sitting on steelies.

I figure by the guy's demenor and the way he carried himself he had a lot of military and/or law enforcement background. For all I know he was USA's chief of security.

 

JB Hunt was stupid they allowed Samsung in California to put flourescent green stickers on the rail containers that said "Best Buy"..... Stoopid,Stoopid,Stoopid

 

Gee what's the worst that can happen? The trailer is sealed right?
(those things are unbreakable!)

 

I know a guy who is in the line of stolen tractor trailer/cargo recovery work. He's a retired Highway Patrolman turned PI. He enjoys the work a lot (and says that doing such commercial PI work is a lot less dangerous than working domestic PI and such!)

 

I would rather face joe blow for his jacked up pickup than a trucker looking out for lively hood.
