    Look, you guys are missing the OPs point. His post is a warning about organized cargo theft, and he has clearly stated he is out of that business. Yes, the things he did were wrong, but he has givin us an inside look at an operation most of us will never know. Just take heed to the OPs advise, for these things still happen.

    Cartons are marked however the receiver wants them marked. I've never had a customer in all my years specify that the information on the cartons would be a dead giveaway to the customer, contents, or location for delivery.

    If you are trying to write a good fiction, then you need to at least have truth in the details.

    While the OP may be "trying to warn us" about the fact that hijackings happen, well sure they do. Do I believe the OP actually participated? No.

    Another little detail that sounds like a bad chord is that the gang would allow him to leave if the target was an O/O? Oh, really? Gosh, he must be a really swell guy. He must have built up all kinds of trust with the gang so he could take Conscience Leave without fertilizing cactus. :D :D :D

    There is a difference in warning about organized cargo theft and going into great detail about what HE did (allegedly). There is a line and he crossed over that line and went from warning to bragging. Personally, I think he had a long layover/breakdown and had nothing else to do but write a fictional story.

    I remember hauling an $800,000 Bose load and my dm calling me every 30 minutes, along with load tracking and nowadays since we live In a police state with the govt having their nose in everything we do I don't think cargo theft is as easy as the op had it in his day

    Let me share with you all the real facts about crime and the criminals who are committing them.

    I sometimes pay my child support a week late just to screw with the system.

    Look, you guys are missing the OPs point. His post is a warning about organized cargo theft :biggrin_25517:Yet if his post was warning about a past DUI or drug charge and how it cost him a job most would condem him not defend him
