Semi-Truck Robbers. In the year 2015 a semi-truck loaded with gold bars was robbed of it cargo in North Carolina. The crooks thought they had gotten away with the perfect crime. They planned stop the truck and rob the drivers of their freight. Over four million dollars in gold was stolen that day and it would take over a year to solve the crime. In the end it was the same old story, a friend turned them in. It never fails, just when you think you have gotten away with something, someone turns you in. The thieves had planned on tracking the semi-truck with a tracking device the leader of the gang had ordered online. They had also planned on setting up a tear gas dispenser inside the cab of the tractor-trailer. The plan actually worked. The crooks were able to zip tie the drivers up and place them in near by woods. They quickly broke the seal to the trailer and made off with the loot. A year later they found themselves behind bars wishing they had either planned better or never planned at all. https://www.marketplace.org/2020/08/06/how-many-americans-unemployed-right-now/https://www.businessinsider.com/trucking-bloodbath-truck-drivers-lost-jobs-april-jobs-report-2020-5https://www.tampabay.com/news/publicsafety/crime/fbi-details-how-48-million-gold-truck-robbery-in-north-carolina-led-to/2267991/Trucking Stuff with TalKCDLAustralian Trucker Gary with TalkCDLTalkCDL reviews the new rule in Trucking.Truckers Hall of Fame Truckers Hall of Fame Trucker Unemployment is high Trucker Unemployment is high. This past April set an all time record with 83, 000 truckers losing their jobs. Mix in a tariff war, riots and the corona virus and you have a recipe for disaster. The trucking industry is no stranger to bad times but these times may be worse than we have seen in a long time. With the addition of a federal boost on top of unemployment compensation it looks like it may be a while till truckers return to wok. Most truck drivers are collecting as much if not more money than they earn on the road. Think about it for s second. If a truck driver can make over a thousand dollars a week clear by sitting at home instead of working for about the same total, he would be crazy to leave home for weeks at a time for less money and not seeing his family. The government was recently quoted as saying "they realize that the federal boost they have been giving workers, may be an incentive Not to Return to work (Duh).
