Default Abandoned TRL truck and trailer on roadside

It seems that a disgruntled employee has left a TRL truck and trailer on the side of the road along my route...at least from the looks of it anyway. It's been sitting there for about 2 weeks and it hasn't moved. Truck #21005 hooked up to a reefer unit.

2 weeks...if that trailer has red meat, I wouldn't wanna be the poor SOB who opens the doors on that sucker LOL.

If anyone is affiliated with TRL company or management, please send me an e-mail or PM and I will give you the exact location so you can retreive it. For a small finder's fee, of course. 8)

Maybe if you paid your drivers a decent wage and treated them with more respect, you wouldn't have these types of problems.

Did you ever consider the possibility that the truck was not abandoned and that maybe the driver had a heart attack and died.

Do everyone a favor and notify the local police and let them take it from there.

I was thinking the same thing, Youve seen it for 2weeks and havent bothered to have it checked out. That aint right. CFM you must really have a problem with road drivers.

I can't believe the police haven't bothered to check out the truck or had it towed in two weeks. Seems if my car breaks down its stickered to be towed in a matter of minutes.

I was thinking along the same lines.

After seeing the truck there after a few days, why didn't you call the police? Why didn't the police stop to investigate?

I got onto the TRL web site and found a couple of e-mail addresses and shot a quick note to them.

You would think they would know it hasn't moved because of there satellite system . Maybe there to lazy to get another driver to take it back to a terminal .

Or, like most drivers who are pissed enough to abandon a truck, the satellite or part of it's system is disabled. If so, the truck is non-existant, they not only don't know it hasn't moved but they don't even know it's missing unless someone manually goes into the system and notices they can't find it.

So CFM, I do hope you had enough sense to at least stop and see if the driver was ok, or at the least report it to the authorities so they could check.

Judging by the gist of his post, my money would be on the negative answer to that question... :shock:
