    If you do start running it maybe you could find an old DOD Marmon with the bulletproof glass

    Most of the loads Ive dropped at Walmart or Kroger/Safeway or HEB are strait loads, I cant actually recall how long its been since I had a mixed load.

    Its ironic that you say that since I have one, but its been 'demilitarized'...

    I can understand what your saying and it would make sense, but Ive got most of my experience doing just the opposite.

    There is always straight loads of product that they move fast, but they have the same product on mixers so they don't run too short if there's a problem.

    You’d be better off buying and selling a load of produce. Plenty of systems in place that aren’t going to change. They ship produce from Grand Rapids Mi. year round. Loads going to Texas etc. Go figure.

    More Mexican truckers are driving bulletproof big rigs to fight cargo theft

    Mexican truckers fight highway robbery with armored semis - Taipei Times

    Learn something new everyday.

    I wonder what it would cost to do that to a class A rv....

    That would make for a helluva rv caravan through Mexico. They like to hijack rv's also, well the tow vehicles mostly, since you need a decent one to pull a 5th wheel and such.

    USDA needs access to inspect. This is done on US side. That’s one of the reasons for the us crossdock sheds.

    Does the USDA inspect ALL loads? Is it mostly for drugs? I do know for a fact that loads coming over the northern border get inspected maybe half the time.

    USDA inspects all produce coming into the country, customs inspect what they want or have suspicion of.
     
    D.Tibbitt, Siinman and Rideandrepair Thank this.
