Pretty sure my Tom (and Don) will be okay;
Who wants to steal Boxes from Boxes ?!?

If anyone wants to steal scrap cardboard or paper rolls....more power to them.
I have a truck with a 53' trailer used for training. Full of sailboat fuel only. The gate lock has been cut twice over night so thieves can get to the trailer and unload it.
TWIC:
Transportation Worker Identification Credential
Truck drivers who regularly pick up from or deliver to the shipping ports will often be required to carry a TWIC card.
Your TWIC is a tamper-resistant biometric card which acts as both your identification in secure areas, as well as an indicator of you having passed the necessary security clearance. TWIC cards are valid for five years. The issuance of TWIC cards is overseen by the Transportation Security Administration and the Department of Homeland Security.

You should leave a note in there. Something like “I.O.U. One truckload of iPhones”.

CargoNet, the cargo theft prevention and recovery network, is warning truckers to be aware of a “significant threat to freight transportation” over the upcoming Memorial Day weekend. That threat focuses on cargo theft and hijackings, which increase measurably during this one particular holiday period.
