    Feet on dash, unable to maintain lane. Doing 100+ (i have seen MANY an indian rig blow my doors off at 75) tail gateing, agressive driving and more.

    As for criminal activity. Youed be suprised. Multiple phones, certain types of indicators on the truck itself. Non standard BoLs. Cargo stacked in a very off way. Mismatched or weird types of seals. Trailer in a condition that in unsuitable for the product being carried. Cargo loaded in a strange way (think more weight at rear then front to an excessive degree). Driver acting in an unusual or nervious way. Lot of little things that on their own arent indicators. But together paint a very suspucious picture.

    While this is correct, when I was driving in Iraq, pretty much any Iraqis were called Hadjis. And most camps had a area where the locals sold their wares, mostly pirated movies on DVDs, counterfeit cigarettes, Rolexes etc. and were called Hadji Marts by the militarys (several countries military) and the expats working there. Not saying this is right, just the way it is.

    TIL, thank you.

    What culture does this apply to?


    So what if it is? Why should we care if some drug runner gets his widdle feewings hurt? This industry, and this country, are better off for having drug runners taken off the highways and put behind bars.

    He probably tried to get the exit at the last minute....probably was in the hammer lane, discovered he needed fuel, cut someone off, almost caused an accident, and the rest is history. People who do illegal things often forget the meaning of.....discreet.

    Thank you. I always enjoy getting to learn more about cultures that I haven't had much exposure to.
