I watched one episode of that show, it's all BS. They case truck lots hoping trucks will just happen to be hanging out there.It makes me mad how they portray recovery agents.
If I know who a guy is hauling for, I call the dispatcher and tell him i'm going to take the truck,they will gladly tell me when the truck lands so the trailer can be dropped. Taking a truck with a load on it does nobody any good.
Just FYI, I always try to get guys to just surrender or pay, its the hardasses that tell you screw off who lose their trucks (un)expectedly.
