These get to be really complex situations and require analysis of several things. (1) The nature of ownership or posession of the goods in question (2) the laws of the jurisdiction in question [and limitations that can exist as to liability, such as the Warsaw Convention, (3) contractual relationships between the tractor owner and the trailer owner (4) the nature of existence of insurance between the trailer and tractor owners. I would try to secure whatever information you can about the 4 aspects, and then seek qualified legal advice as to the claim. (The Department of Insurance may be able to assist you, and/or a homeowner's carrier if you feel that you may be able to seek coverage for the loss under such a policy).
