    Trooper pulled the truck over in Charleston, driver had no license and was in the country illegally. Had 45 other people in the truck with him, all with the same immigration status. Story doesn't say what the original reason was for pulling over the truck.

    If it was pulling a flatbed with 2 minivans, I'm guessing it was a "Business Class" medium duty model, like an FL60.

    I wonder if the riders in the front minivan paid business class and the rear were in coach like the airlines.:biggrin_25523:

    Wonder if they drove across the border uninspected?? Saw a few mexican trucks already, some in very good condition and almost new.. but one in particular I watched as he was parked next to us... He spent alot of money on his illegal 200 watt Galaxy CB. The rest ... well, he was sitting on one of those folding lawn chairs as a driver seat, he had his steering column pulled apart and was trying to jerry rig his turn indicator with a plastic grocery bag tied around the steering column. Door panels were torn apart and hanging on the inside, (he opened the door by reaching outside). Some worn drive tires, steers were about 1/16th inch tread depth. It opened my eyes. Just wonder how closely these trucks are examined at the border and how they bypass the checkpoints?

    You should have seen the trucks we had at Pepsi. Most wouldn't have passed a DOT Inspection to save their life.
