{"text":"Yesterday when I was sweeping my trailer a coworker stopped to tell me to put a padlock on my trailer door to prevent someone from locking me in. Is this really a thing or was he just pulling my chain? It would make an effective robbery. I didnt see any stories online. I wish he hadn't said other drivers might not like you. I already stress like that. My distrust of fellow drivers is at an all time high, even coworkers. Especially coworkers.

{"replyTo":"","text":"I've heard camp fire stories like that about fifth wheel pulling and coins between the glad hand seals, hell back when I was OTR with a trainer he even taught me how to loop the seatbelt through the doors so in the case of someone breaking in the seatbelt would at least give you a chance at reacting but I've never seen anything like that personally. The best thing is you can never be too cautious but being too careless will always cost you","replyToPid":0}

{"replyTo":"","text":"there's some weird people out here man. I had someone sneak into my truck and steal my pants off of the sleeper floor while I was sleeping. The other morning I was about to do a pre-trip at around 4 AM and was sitting in the driver seat. I turned the lights on and glanced out of my driver door to see some dude right outside my door. I wound the window down a crack and he asked me if he could bum a cig. I don't smoke, so that was a no. Then he just wandered off through the parking lot.","replyToPid":0}

{"replyTo":"","text":"ive never had it happen but I always bring my phone when Im in the trailer because I've thought it could. \n\nanother thing to be wary of is when you are in the trailer at a truckstop, make sure no one else backs up against your trailer while you're in it.","replyToPid":0}
