Early one morning a man came into the Kalamazoo, Michigan terminal and asked Toledo, Ohio road driver, Jim Kinney, to pull his vehicle out of a nearby ditch. Jim wasn't able to help but offered to let him use the phone. The man became obnoxious and refused Jim's offer then left the terminal. A short time later he returned and demanded that someone pull his car from the ditch. Supervisor David Blincoe, let the man use the phone and then escorted him out of the building. Suspicious, David asked Jim and David Quick, Toledo, Ohio road driver, to help him search the terminal. They found the man taking freight from the dock, cornered him and called the police.
