The perps were likely armed and dangerous. Who's gonna risk getting shot over a truck driving job?

Exactly. No one.

Besides, someone with inside knowledge helped set this up. How do we know its not the driver.

How's it the driver or companies fault ? How's a team going to help this ? Solo or team, you're still going to stop and take showers or eat. They obviously knew where the load originated and followed it for who knows how long and were going to get it one way or another. If they were randomly picking trucks I would have to guess once they saw the pit bull they would just move on to another truck. It could have been worse if the driver was in the truck, or maybe not? We're missing lots of facts like where were the keys ? Did he leave the truck idling for his dog because it was hot out ? In that case maybe he is partially responsible, but we don't know.

well with a High $$$$$$$ load when you Run TEAM,one goes in does there bizness eats showers etc. just like we did.Then when they are done the other driver goes in same thing,so someone is in the truck at all times like a armoured car so to speak.FedEx told us to never stop till we was like 200 miles away from shipper.Yes we picked up numerous high $$$ loads

btw: when one was inside we sat in the seats lookin out the mirrors.

A setup is a definite possibilty, except I don't think any of those drugs are schedule 1 so they would be hard to sell unless you had a buyer lined up.

I would think it has to be an "inside job" How else would the perps know to target THAT trailer out of all the ones there?

The people that stole it did not have to know what was in it. All the Prime van trailers are reefers. The theives may have been staking out the lot looking for an easy grab and tagged this guy for one when he got out of the rig. The guy probably did leave the truck running for his dog and that probably made the choice all the more easy since the truck may have been running. Its a reefer trailer so for all we know the theives may have grabbed it thinking they got a nice high dollar load of meat or something then took the trailer got it to their spot and realized that had something they couldnt do anything with. I kind of have my doubts these theives knew what was on that truck unles they did have an inside track, pharmacy grade drugs is not what I would have expected to find on a Prime reefer trailer. Hard to say, lots of cargo theft happening right now.

i've pulled loads like that out of knoxville 500 lb. morphine with 200 lb. oxycotton (spelling..?) wasn't hard to tell it was high $$$$ bolt seal on both doors and cable seal across both doors all with shippers name on the seals.

most of the high $$$$ load we have pulled you can tell are high dollar just by looking at the seal if you know what to look for ( most shippers don't use plastic of cheap metal seals on high dollar loads)
