Semi-Truck Lockout and Freightliner Key by Code Replacement in Memphis, TN

Today, we assisted a major trucking company based in Memphis, TN after one of their drivers found themselves locked out of a 2021 Freightliner Cascadia bobtail at a popular truck stop off Lamar Avenue in the 38106 area. Memphis is a significant hub for logistics, with 18-wheeler trucks like Freightliners, Volvos, Mack trucks, and Kenworth trucks constantly passing through. The driver had lost the keys to his commercial truck and urgently needed help to get back on the road.

The trucking company reached out, asking, “Can you provide truck lockout services and cut Freightliner keys by code?” We immediately reassured them, “Yes, GI Locksmith specializes in truck key replacements, and we can cut keys by code or keys by VIN for semi-trucks.” They were relieved to hear that we could handle their request efficiently.

After arriving at the truck stop within 20 minutes, we began by addressing the truck lockout situation. The driver had left the keys inside the vehicle, so we utilized our advanced lock-picking tools to gain entry into the 18-wheeler truck. You can see the before and after video footage below, where we safely unlocked the Freightliner without causing any damage. This is just one of the services we offer for drivers who find themselves locked out of their commercial trucks.

Once inside, we cut the new Freightliner key by code. The driver was extremely grateful, and we were happy to have him back on the road in no time. They also asked, “Can you cut a key from a VIN number?” We let them know that GI Locksmith can cut keys by both key code and VIN, ensuring that no matter the situation, we’re prepared to help.
