    save on the fines and tickets for sure , to just keep rolling but
    That would be kinda hard to explain to the receiver …..

    But with all the cameras and license image readers and all the private Flock cameras etc , it is a lot easier to track down a vehicle than it used to be .

    couple years ago they had an active shooter carjacking situation in that area and they once they had the tag number they were on that guy like a duck on a June bug , he was hiding out in a gated condo complex , but they tracked down the car in minutes .
    Flooded the area with 130 cops and dogs and helicopters and drones and sent a text message to every cell phone in the area with the guys picture saying he was wanted for murder and known to be in the area in the last few minutes and nabbed him in no time , because everyone in the area was helping the cops looking for him .

    Sorry Cuzzin it, I got a good laugh out of this too.

    Yeah, sometimes a drone will drop a steel coil from the sky in the wrong place.

    Sheesh.

    I don't haul flatbed but I can feel the second something shifts in my trailer, even a light pallet. Is it even possible that this driver didn't notice?

    Personally I can't see it happening but I'm genuinely curious.
     
    Bud A. and Kyle G. Thank this.
