Bring in one of the portable car crushers and compact them on the spot. That would have the owner-operators scrambling to get to hell out of Dodge. Think of how happy that would make millions of people!

A decent-condition Class 8 truck sells for $50,000 to $75,000. Ottawa can use the money.

The person that has a seized truck will file in bankruptcy court for protection to discharge any debts. Then they will get a new loan for a truck.
