    I was at the Petro in Kingman AZ one time and saw someone pull the fifth wheel lever on someone in the fuel island, I hurried in and found the driver and told him, he was so grateful because he says to me if you hadn't have told me I might have dropped the trailer because i sometimes forget to check every time before I leave, In all my years of driving that's one thing I have never had happen is fuel cap stolen, have had fuel stolen though

    Yeah I'm definitely getting a set of locking caps for my company truck at Schneider. $115-$150 a piece is crazy expensive, but I would rather just get the locking ones now, use them and not have to worry about someone siphoning my fuel or just stealing my cap. Even if it's not a good lock they have on them not really anyone will go through the trouble to pick lock a fuel cap. I know some people will go that far, but not likely.
    Had a buddy who worked at Schneider too who had his fuel caps stolen off his truck 3 times! Company driver or not, I would really just rather not deal with someone taking my fuel cap like that lol.
    So it's a good * kind of expensive* but good investment.

    Sucks about the fuel cap being stolen. Never had that happen, I have had fuel stolen from me twice at the petro in Amarillo. At least they were nice enough to put the caps back on so no rain got into my tank. I’m now actually carrying a brick with me just in case I ever stop at the petro in Amarillo, I’d love to stay up and see if anyone pulls up and tried to steal fuel. They’ll get a nice brick thrown at their windshield.
