    Im a trucker. And there was a truck that got parked in the back of a commercial fuel station. It was an unattended station so aside from the maintenance people that came there occasionally no one was around. That truck sat there for 3.5 years till finally a citizen reported it. Turned out the driver had parked for the night, had a heartattack or something and passed away in the sleeper. He was a missing person all that time and all that was left was his completely decomposed body.
    If you see a truck sitting that shouldn't be there report it. You could even save a life.

      This is true but somebody took the time to stick the plate in the window and remove the vin. Anyways, abandoned vehicles are auctioned off so somebody is getting this.
      I doubt the city that has taken almost 30 years to relocate one of it's larger towed vehicle lots will take the time to bring it to a crusher. An auction gets rid of it faster.

He wouldn't tell them where the truck was and was charged with theft. It was another 2 weeks before a friend of my buds seen the truck 1200 miles from where we were. When we got there everything was gone. Belts, tarps, chains and cinches. Radios, webasto, batteries and it was sitting wide open. At least he hadn't sold the tires and wheels or they were stolen.

    I drove an ‘86 KW cabover for a few years when I first started trucking. The 13 speed shifter was cable actuated. It was kind of fun. It also has a ceramic clutch which gave it a jumpy take off if you weren’t used to it. The cab would torque over so much that it kind of warped the fan shroud into hitting the fan.

      Yep, it was a grain hauler. Quite abused in its lifetime. Always grossed to the max (under a harvest permit), with a great deal of off-road time, living in a cloud of dust. I imagine only logging operations could be more stressful on a tractor. Also, the super-grabby ceramic clutch just made a soft launch nearly impossible.

    Just wondering if maybe a dead body inside, it happens. I was driving 18 wheelers early 2000, needed fuel, food and a place for the nite. I found a really good parking spot in a truck stop in Fort Worth. I was sitting in my truck drivers seat reading the newspaper. A guy walked up and ask me how could you park next to that other truck. I said, I don't follow you. He said the guy died and they just carried his body out. I was curious when I parked there and noticed the windows was half way down, hatch vents open, it was very cold outside. I told the concerned guy, I'm not afraid of ghost. He just walked away shaking his head. I went to sleep next morning the truck was gone. I slept like a baby and didn't hear a thing.

      That’s exactly right. Of course they’re gonna ticket you running into a store for 30 seconds because they will get revenue from you. There’s no money to be made from an abandoned truck like this. It can definitely be auction for scrap but that will pretty much just pay for the tow.

    I clicked the video just to see the truck, what a nice KW. I'm shocked by the fact that someone dared to abandon it.

    Weird that a truck is in good shape after 2 years. Especially when my car would get stripped while I'm in a store buying a sandwich.
