    ####, in California it is suspicious if you're driving the speed limit -- "Hmm, what's this guy trying to hide?"

    I'd bet money there was air surveillance watching, tactical watching, and the dude was stopped someplace where the bear in the air could deploy said team if the smuggler had an escort.

    You guys that think this was some fluke are pretty funny for truck drivers.

    you have to be a moron to speed in CA, even doing 60 in a 55 in a cmv is asking for it.

    how could a shipment like this get across the borders?

    EL ...C h a p o strikes again hmm ?

    the way the driver reacted is common, perhaps an informant with a cover story,
    maybe the stuff would get dumped off some where between there and the northern border for who knows what purpose?

    a lot of possibilities

    I'd be interested in hearing where the load originated from. I've often thought that this is how this stuff gets moved around the country. So many of us on the road and so few get checked.

    Seems like I've seen a lot more cars being searched along I-40 over the last 3 months. Heard they made a huge cocaine bust on a stopped car last week in NM.

    Its drivers like this pos why the industry gets targeted the most by law enforcement.

    But you have to admit, there are over 1 Million cdl holders in this country, so you can't group 1 Million people into the category that we're all law abiding citizens. And since there is little enforcement in our industry regarding drug trade, this is the easiest way to transport illicit drugs.

    Well when it's packaged up nice an neat it's obvious what it is. I'm thinking load it in bulk in a hopper bottom label it chicken meal on the BOL and ride.
