Had a good laugh with border patrol this evening .

All of mine without fail sniff the 5th wheel and could care less in those check stations. Ive always wondred what would happen if I had a load of quality dogfood aboard.

Great post!

 

"They probably smell my dog on me" is the correct response,

 

I roll into those things with the "Danger Zone" or "What is love" cranked yelling at them "American citizen, freight all kinds, just me, loads going to (place name) and I will be the only driver." Keeps the line moving.

 

Here's my traffic battle song

 

I was hauling a load of chew toys and the dog went bezerk...the inspection at the checkpoint was so deep that the border patrol guy still sends me Valentine's Day cards

 

My first run back from laredo i pulled into the check station there on 35nb, get up to the guy at the over hang and he asks his standard, "are you a us citizen" i replied "si senior", his face had absolutely zero emotion, he says "let's try that again". I said "yes sir" with a big ### smile on my face. He then says, please proceed over to the xray machine....i was an empty flatbed...

 

Most working dogs are trained to set when they detect the substance that they are trained to detect. That way the handlers know what the dog is doing. There are a lot of poorly trained handlers and poorly trained dogs. I've seen a lot of dogs that have their handlers trained.

There's nothing like sitting in line at an ECP because the dog sat on a local dump truck. We hire local drivers for construction work. When they aren't doing construction, they haul ammonia nitrate fertilizer.

 

Try entering an overseas State Department site where the guards can and will kill you if you don't follow their instructions.
