Employees Constantly Getting Pulled Over

Has anyone ever ran into the situation where you work in several different municipalities and each one decides to pull your rigs over during the middle of the night because they think the equipment is stolen? How does one go about getting this problem solved.

1 rig is a 3500 van pulling a trailer. No logo's or lettering on the van.
1 rig is a dually pulling a trailer. No logo's of lettering on this truck either.

The dually rarely gets messed with however the Van gets pulled over weekly. i have contacted one of the PD's that pulled him over last week and got it straightened out with the night shift commander and I guess we'll have to do the same thing with every single PD around us.

The most recent episode before last night cost the rig 1 hr of downtime and ended with a have a good night sir. No tickets are ever written, nothing ever done except cost us downtime. What has everyone else done to prevent this?
 
Put lettering on the van, and, if you don't want to do that, put lettering on the trailer, and give your employees business cards with his name on it. That way when they get pulled over, they can show the card to the officer, and the officer can see that they are legitimate.
 
Tell Bo that a blacked out rape van with smoke billowing out of the driver's side window is just too tempting a target at 3am.

He's gonna have to stop smoking.
 
Maybe if you repaint the van...

A magnetic sign for while they are out and about seems logical if you are not wanting to letter the vehicles. Vista Print has some good cheap ones. Maybe have "employee id" cards made up. Office Depot or Staples can laminate them for you for cheap.

Also...Russ's suggestion of repainting the van wouldn't be a bad idea either. :sarcastic:

he caught a cop sleeping the other night at a gas station and scared the sh@@ out if her to get out of the area he had to clean. That may B&R a reason he keeps having trouble.

LOLOLO

Scott and I know these stops are BS
 
My truck or trailer isn't lettered and I've never had any problems. I don't even get the red light thrown on me at the scales.

Cops do talk though, maybe your washer woke up a police chief at 2 AM by washing a center that he lives directly behind.
 
I started a city contract about ten years ago. Every day my guy got pulled over for two months. I had cops calling at all hours of the night, at home, on the office phone, on my cell phone, ragging on me about petty, stupid stuff. It was nuts. Finally, I cornered one of the commanders and told him what was going on, and magically, it stopped. 10 years later, not a single incident. Amazing
