TForce | Stolen trailer

Doesnt surprise me a bit. Our barn has no cameras, the gate isnt locked half the time on the weekends, no security guard, nothing. And atleast 100 people know the password to the gate. It would be extremely easy for anybody to come in with a pair of bolt cutters and steal anything they want. Or for another truck driver to come in for a free fuel fill up. Once you get in the gate theres not even a door that locks that goes to the break room. In the break room you have access to dozens of tractor keys. You would think they would want to actually secure the facility.
 
:smilie93C_peelout:up in seattle they put cameras up on the dock I do not know if any cameras are out in the yard!!!

this happened to ABF some time ago except two pups full of T.V.s were stolen. I also believe that this was an inside job because who else would know would know exactly what is loaded onto what trailer.
 
When I was working for Overnite,we lost 2 pup loads of IBM computers for Kodak.
They were dropped side by side at our dock.
Monday morning when we came into work to break our inbound,we found them both with the seals broke but the doors were closed.

We figured whoever stole everything must have known what was in the trailers to take the chance.
None of them were ever found as far as I know,and nobody was arrested.

The terminal wasn't broke into,so we figured whoever did the theft must have raised the landing pads lowering the nose to the ground so they could get behind,and have enough room to get them off the pups.
After they got them unloaded they lowered the legs,so it looked like every other trailer dropped in our yard.

Yes that was a very expensive claim for sure,and it is hard to believe nobody ever got caught.

Overnite finally put a fence around our yard with a gate after that,which was one of the items we workers were always telling them to do long before that.
 
it could of been however data processing equipment like that have a released value associated depending on the class. Anything less than $5 per pound is class 92.5. $10 but less than $5 is 150 and $25 but less than $10 is 250. If the shipper doesn't state the released value on the bill then most carriers default to the lowest released value (class 92.5) because of the potential payout for claims.
 
If it was on that trailer,looks like your going to have to wait for the next shipment wassupp.
I know the customer at the destination won't suffer any of the loss, the claim will be between UPS and the original shipper.
