Keeping your truck at home

I just dump the trailer on the main road in front of the No Parking signs, put on the kingpin lock, and drive the tractor to the house (about a block down the road) and park in the driveway. It's up to you driver, to figure out what you can get away with.

Dropping off a trailer during a day off is a terminating offense at TMC.
Some of the product hauled (copper plates for example) are too tempting to theives.

It's a terminating offense at other companies besides TMC, but you do what you gotta do. There's no place within ten miles I could securely drop a trailer and there's no way in the world I could haul a semi-trailer down my road, without backing it all the way to the house, then blocking the entire road with it! Just use a h3ll of a good kingpin lock and bribe the local cops with good donuts and coffee! 8)

Be careful when taking equipment home. I had a trailer broken into while near the house, and it cost me my job :cry: Trailer was locked on both sides, and they still managed to cut the lock with some kind of grinder. The thief's didn't like what was inside, but I was still terminated.

glad I got nosey neighbours. Plan on parking by my mail box, and 1 of the neighbours has a security cam pointed right at them :lol:
2 cops within 1 1/2 blocks and 2 sheriffs. speed limit on my street is 25 but if your doing over 20 the whole block stickes there head out of there windows to see who is speeding. |
