Tanker truck full of diesel carjacked (or is that truckjacked?)
Diesel's gotten so high down here that they're stealing tanker trucks now.

Uuhhhggg
"Journalists" have done it again. It's actually hijacking regardless of plane or truck.
And now CNN is using "efforting" in place of "trying." " .... this just in, details sketchy but we are efforting to find out...."

A lot of trucking companys use GPS on their trucks so they know where they are at all times. plus it shows the co. speed, idle time and shifting etc...
don`t know if these tankers have GPS, and either would the jacker. but that is a ballsey move to do. where do I hide this thing????  even if I did this sort of thing at 3AM, I could deliver the fuel at an undisclosed station and who would know? just another fuel delivery. then drop the truck off some where and be gone. that`s like what, 9000 gallons? at 25mpg that would be 225000 miles of driving? Charlie ☺

Valid point

BUT Federal Motor Carrier laws don't mention 'car' jacking. Taking a commercial vehicle by coercion is hijacking no matter who drives it. If the robbers use the rightful driver to drive, they add kidnapping to it all. I can't believe how much I still remember from driving a truck.
