They'll just insure it and be done with, like they currently do with regular trucks (which BTW have to stop every 9 hours and let the driver sleep, thus creating a very vulnerable situation wherre the truck is parked and driver is helpless). Truck robberies are just not a big problem already.
- mc32 6y agoI think truck stops and middle of nowhere are different though. Truck stops have other truckers. Some have facilities and cameras. But yeah, I think most truck jackings are targeted and often involve insiders, or occasionally a driver leaves the truck unsecured and someone drives off but that’s rare.
- Mediterraneo10 6y agoGranted, I am no truck driver myself, but from my vast experience hitchhiking in the EU and former USSR and hearing stories from drivers, robberies or theft of cargo happen quite often at truck stops along the roads, most of which lack cameras or even much lighting. Other trucks may be present, but their drivers are usually sleeping and wouldn't intervene anyway, because who wants to risk their life for a stranger when all cargo is insured anyway?
