I’m sure it was just formerly illegal alien landscapers.
No concerns here, we’ll just vote them amnesty for stealing trucks.

First find out why the trucker stopped for 5 hrs. at a rest stop.
You cant make any money when the rig aint moving, it doesnt take 5 hrs to eat, or eat and shower, and shave.
If I hired this guy , thats what I would be wondering.

Four hour rest break is mandatory, isn’t it?

Another account.The current version is that it was "shop vacs" that were stolen, not fertilizer.
Maybe, maybe not.

Gee, would it be asking too much for the “professional” journalists at AP to tell us if it was ammonium nitrate or not ? It is sort of incidental to the story !

Sleep, maybe? Truck drivers have to keep logs, and can't legally drive more than a certain number of hours without stopping to rest. Sure, a lot of time the logs get faked, but they aren't all faked.

said investigators believe the missing fertilizer does not contain anything that could be used to make an explosive, ...packaged in sacks, for shipment to a Home Depot in Tracy, Calif. If you can buy it at Home Depot, it is as safe as melamine.
Won't pop, let alone bang; but don't eat it ot feed it to pets.

Oh, Lordy. Do you have ANY idea how trucking works?
Heve you ever heard of driving time limits?
They are very restrictive, with very big fines and penalties for exceeding them.
If you fired every one of your drivers who refused to exceed limits, you would end up with a lot of non-hablo's driving for you, before you went out of business due to the fines.

The dumb ass local news in L.A. said....”there was no indication that this was an act of terrorism, just a theft.”....HELLO?...what are thieves going to do with it...maybe sell it to terrorists? The news is beyond stupid.

It was a bunch of vacuum cleaners. Industrial strips are the only places these guys can sleep anymore...most cities have banned semi parking.
To: AngelesCrestHighway
what are thieves going to do with it...maybe sell it to terrorists? It was more likely a drug cartel, looking for some free fertilizer for their free (public lands) pot farms.

Not uncommon-sometimes customers only receive goods at certain times of the night/day.
