    In contrast, previous years were only like one or two trailers stolen.

    A lot of these fools just drop them anywhere when they go home.

    And what they charge to rent those things you can get in the hole quick sitting around while that rental fee adds on to your settlement every week. And they don't l/p them.

    I was thinking of Mercer when I made the L/P statement.

    But I could've swore a CRST driver said he was L/Ping an outfit....? Must have just meant the truck. Either way I could care less!

    Personally I think its funny! All those years of screwing drivers and now they are on the other end.

    Where I live any scrap yard paying over a certain amount, I think 500.00 or more requires a valid state I.D. OR D.L. so you can be tracked, or at least the I.D. can be tracked.

    Sure, but we're not talking about copper here, which is the biggie. You bring in a cut up trailer, who's going to say anything, heck they probably won't even realize it's a trailer. Plus around here, ads are all over craigslist "we buy old semi trailers" and they recycle them. It's pretty common.

    Here, it does matter what the material. any dollar amount over a min requires a valid picture state i.d.

    Since thats the scrap value, the reward seems a bit "thin".
