    Nope Wolfy, I didn't waste my minutes on it, beside it didn't say what portion of option 5 it was in. What did I miss?

    Sitting in Alabama, deliver to Ft. Mills, SC tomorrow.

    Basically, the companies score on drug and alcohol testing was falling fast as 7 people have either tested positive, or been found with the goods in the truck and then it goes into how this is bad (duh!) and then it goes on to say that the company has hired this company that has something to do with drug dogs and then the message gets cut off....what worries me is what if this drug sniffing dog smells a weird smell and it sets him off on your truck, are they going to search your truck? I am not worried about the drugs or alcohol thing personally, I think you have to be an idiot to do drugs or posess alcohol in or around your truck, but I dont want them to think they can just rip into all my personal stuff in my truck if the dog thinks I have some in there. Its just weird how the message cuts off right there, and we dont know where he was going with it. Call option 5..at the first option hit 2 to hear the company message.

    Wolfy it takes more than a "weird smell" to set them off. No worries though, as long as they stay out of Cookies food, $52 for a 30lb bag.

    They mentioned this possibility at the safety meeting I went to (last week or the week before) and asked how us drivers would feel. Most, including myself, said we didn't really care as we had nothing to hide.

    I just hope the dogs don't scare my kitty too much.

    Just like with border patrol, and crossing the border. I dont care if you search, but please try not to tear it up TOO badly. I take alot of time keeping things the way they are.

    Hate to say it Wolf, if the dog alerts, whether he is right or wrong, a search becomes justifiable. Did I tell you about the time I came through the border stop on i 35 north of Laredo. I had a full load of leather chew toys.

    The dogs went bonkers!

    The border patrol did such an intimate search on me that the agent still sends me a valentines card every year!!!!

    Have a good laugh once a day and be safe out there.

    We had a dog freak out once when we were going through BP with a load we had picked up sealed in Calexico, had us a little worried!

    Turned out the dog was just retarded lol.

    I've never been search on any of them, mainly because I am willing too and Cookie is in the truck with me (pitbull). Now when I came across the Falfurias station yesterday the agent climbed up, asked to open the door, and when he saw Cookie asked if she's vicious. I gave him a treat to hand her and he petted her before telling me to have a good day.

    When I crossed over from Canada it was a similar situation, when they asked to check out my truck I told him that was fine, I just asked they not throw my sheets and bedding in the floor since I had just done the laundry (was muddy outside and in the floor of truck since I hadn't done my daily cleanup yet) The guy said no problem, barely even went through my stuff just moved a couple items around.
