[QUOTE="scooby0048, post: 1621093, member: 50693"] Yes and no. In this particular instance, the driver went off the road and was in a wreck, so both would be impounded (to clear the roadway and keep the trailer secured from theft and to prevent further crashes) This is also true if the driver caused any injuries and then the equipment would also be impounded to allow commercial motor vehicle inspectors to determine causation of crash and assign liability. In a normal DUI arrest, just the tractor would be impounded simply because there is just not enough storage space to hold all the trailers until a company could send another tractor, and ultimately the real goal is to prevent the impaired driver from returning to the scene (if they are released) and getting back behind the wheel. Most of the time the officers will remain on scene for a reasonable time to allow the trucking company to make arrangements to retrieve / secure the trailer but if they cannot get the trailer, it will sit off the road in a lot somewhere.
