    That's Nogales alright. I don't know exactly where but the land is right etc.

    FFE sent me and wife down there several times a week to load at the boarder in a produce facility I would say 4 miles west down a paved road near the old Pilot. It was not a very good place to load. Or a good town to be in. One time there was gunplay followed by huge enforcment activty with us inside the perimeter. We wanted out. And they checked us really good and let us out. Turned out was one KIA and one gunman caught wounded in our approximate intersection. We checked our rig for bullet holes and found none.

    Children worry about the monster under the bed or in the closet. I had mine on the catwalk for a few nights. Part of the stress other than protecting wife, I would take on the entire process of loading and getting out of there clear without regard to HOS. Wife would take it from Adams mountain eastward.

    Nogales is not supposed to be a side track to this topic, but Im just happy in knowing I will not be dealing with them again.

    TS? That is where they had that Corrall fight which was actually a alleyway and side street near a livery. If I recall my history that's the Clanton Gang against Law Enforcement over about 40 seconds.

    He was saying worst case. I came up with the worst case that I thought might be possible.

    That doesn't mean it would happen, but I believe all those possibilities are real if the DOT / scale officers decided to make an example.
