Truckers in Tennessee are reporting their tires being slashed at truck stops?
Vanity

Could be a rumor but does anyone have any knowledge of this? Trucks attempting to get aid to hurricane victims are being attacked at truck stops by slashing their tires.

Do you have a link for this or are you making it up? Serious question.

Truckstops around here have a lot of security cameras installed.

Yes. It’s a “protection racket”. Pay us $50 for us to make sure your truck is “safe”. The new Venezuelan Mafia.

if real, seems to be of a piece with “looming port strike.”

Slashing a large truck tire would no doubt be hurtful to the slasher. Sniping from a distance would work better.

Jack@$$es. These are rescuers, not part of the strike at the coast.

The Ice Pick Bandit has struck again, at least half a dozen more times, at truck stops in Tennesee and Arkansas, piercing sidewalls of some and/or all of the tires on about 50 rigs in all, in what’s most likely the worst run of attacks ever seen.

Does this ruin the tires or can they be repaired? I guessing not easy to repair if its the outside sidewall area of the tire. I have been told at tire shops that they only patch tire punctures if they are in the tread area, never the sidewalls because it won’t hold. Those truck tires on big rigs are like $1200 dollars apiece!!!

Just texted with a trucker friend in the ATL area. He says it’s real, predated the hurricane, that there have been hundreds of tires slashed, and it’s across the SE, GA, FL, NC, TN. Lots of cases with police reports. Theory is Greenie extremists.

FWIW

This guy is a major trucking podcaster, here he is talking about it 3 weeks ago:

Apparently it’s happening in TX, too.
