    that's only what was uncovered up to now (june 2019) no telling if that's all there was. no telling if other DPS workers were/are taking bribes for anyone else.

    wouldn't surprise me, given the fiasco up here in NH, and the recent MA RMV suspending a large number of licenses, if something like a mass halting of CDL's in TX takes place and everyone gets called in to be verified.

    sucks to be a (legit or not) TX CDL holder right about now.

    and just think about how many millions of pounds of drugs were imported into this country by the truck drivers that have those cdl's .. the further south u get the more corrupt it gets. the cartels have all those guys paid off.

    yes true...but to "do time in the states" for that crime, is like doing time in a country club, over what they have in thier country! so maybe they look forward to it...???!!

    I agree. It would totally be easy to rake in 10% of a load in the back with a truck so plain and basic 18 wheeler it's not worth a second look. With one exception. A beligan or german pooch will take a deep sniff and thats all she wrote.

    If I did that say from Phoenix to Chicago in about 40 hours with two blocking vehicles and a rider shotgun the income will essentially be several lifetimes worth.

    But no. It's not going to happen. Ever. I die first. It is good to stand on principles of one's ancestors so that if they did kill me for refusing they will welcome me on the other side, whatever that is.
