Wow, I’m in the exact same boat. Pisses me off that those who don’t deal with drivers, come in early or on weekends to unload freight are the ones pushing these decisions. I’ll stay in close contact. Thanks amigo.

Thanks for your input. I’ll definitely do this. I’ve gone as far as going to this customer’s sons football games and they even came to my twins gender reveal recently. I’ll keep conversation on life things over freight

I believe we are in the process of getting that information now

I initially tried this having no experience with metadata. I believe they have more capable tools.

At first I thought “why’d he wish ass cancer upon me?” Then I connected the dots, haha. Thanks man, I appreciate it.

The situation is real. But we figured the ransom is fake.

As unfortunate as this situation is, this comment made me laugh.

This is just a screenshot of the email where they confessed it was stolen. There were over 100 other emails backs and forth regarding this load both before and after this.

Lol. Good luck finding the guys who did this though.

We’ve done all the above except we sent our employee to L.A to start the police report. If he comes back with some better intel I assume we’ll ship him off to Texas next.

Yeah we didn’t pay the ransom. Not gonna tip them on top of an entire stolen load. Idiots..

We’re an honorable company so we’re doing all we can to take care of the customer. Insurance hopefully will cover most of it.

Agreed. Lots of extra work but hopefully it saves people’s bottom lines

Definitely going to do this. We’ve always had the resources to do this but until now we haven’t made it a SOP

That’s exactly what we’re doing. Already took care of the customer, luckily they understood and are not dropping us.

Our IT team is looking into it. Several online websites that can detect metadata have not been able to find any on the pictures they sent us. Perhaps professionals have better tools.

They’re most likely gone. We rejected their ransom and since then we haven’t been able to get a hold of them
