Truckload of 'candy'?
 
Naughty naughty; yesterday near Inver Grove Hts, MN they pulled over a supsicious truck (driving too slow and weaving)......anyway, they said they were hauling candy and were lost; packed behind the candy was 1 1/2 tons of dope- like $3 millon worth- yikes! It came up here from Mexico- how'd they get that far w/out being caught?? Thats some candy alright- omg :shock:

Not too long ago, a trucker was busted with millions of dollars of pot in his trailer(came from mexico was on way to NY) this happened on I-85 in davidson co in NC, guess he had a few stops along the way huh

I just don't get how they get away w/it; I always thought the trailers/trucks were checked real good along the way?

Not if it is a sealed load. What I dont figure........if driver is hauling a sealed load by the shipper b4 the driver can inspect the load, where is the driver able to defend himself?

I am sure this has come up somewhere, sometime.

In my Opinion I think those loads that get caught are narced by the shippers that ship them to get others loads through undetected. To me it makes no sense as to how law enforcement gets so lucky with drug busts.

I have driven for many years and I have never had to open my doors for any inspection by Law enforcement even when I have picked up loads at the border. Just my opinion.

Heh heh heh. I have.

I got pulled over in the Tarheel for a random level 1 (I think it is, just the paperwork inspection and a quick walk around for obvious problems.) He was writing up my papers when he said something or other about what I was hauling. He had been friendly, and I was in a good mood, and I had a little lapse of judgement.

I said, "Well, we used to haul Mexicans, but I figured North Carolina has plenty of Mexicans now, so we just haul bedroom furniture."

:shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock:

Open mouth, insert foot.

"Now you know I have to inspect this load now, don't you son?"

Oh well. I didn't have anything on but a couple pallets of furniture and a whole lot of dispatcher brains. No hidden trap doors, no stash of illicit booty, etc., and he could tell I wasn't acting like there was anything I didn't want him to find, so he spared me actually dissecting my tractor all over the road. I thought about that later though, and realized how ugly that could have been. I could have been up until 5:00 in the morning putting my truck back together far enough to get some sleep.

Stupid.

But still funny as hell looking back on it. :lol:

:P Silvan......I know the feelin' man.

True story.... (for some reason I have to quantify that) :roll:

I walked into the Utah/Wyoming chicken shack for their paper check.
There were 2 female and one male DOT behind the counter.
You know me...I look guilty or planning to be guilty from 20 paces off. :?

A sauntered up to the cutest DOT...

( shut up..the blonde female about 5'8" 35 years old and looked like
a Tammi...or a Staci ....grrrrrrsslobberslurpsmak pant..pant...pant )

She looked at my papers, then asked "what was I haulin'" ...and I replied
..."Frozen Chinese." She looked up at me...and with a straight face said...
"you know thats illegal."
I cocked one eyebrow...gave a slight snicker...and said..." yeah...
you ought to hear all the bitchin' after I thaw them out."


...if you know me...you know I started in with more aggressive foreplay.
It's a true wonder how I got out of there without being handcuffed and detained in the holding cell.

I get tired of chaching our tails on the drug stuff.. of course this is a colossal waste of time, funds and effort and these drug people are filling the wants and needs of the American people. America is the worlds drug vacuum! I do not blame the drug dealers and or transporters and never really have. I blame the recreational drug users than create the market.

I blame low wages, and the high price of gas. :? :)
