If your car hauler gets a little more attention at weigh stations for the next few weeks, you can thank this gentleman from downriver Detroit, who will be likely be sent up the river for receiving a half-million worth of marijuana in a limo dropped off by a car hauler. The local police had a heads-up that a car-hauler-based drug deal was going down, and they grabbed the purchaser of the limo after he took possession of the car. The car hauler driver “is not suspected of being involved.”

I’m not sure what would be more suspicious; a limo by itself or a limo on a car hauler, since car haulers will have to go through occasional weight stations where the cars might get spot-checked, whereas a limo proper might not create too much suspicion, as long as it doesn’t stick out like a sore thumb in a tough neighborhood.

This is a prime case for the car hauling rule that people shouldn’t put personal effects into any car they’re transporting; that will make anything in a car automatically suspicious to the authorities or to anyone transporting a car. Eleven big bundles of anything in the trunk should raise a red flag to a good car hauler.

Even if the car hauler wasn’t in on the deal, he should have checked the trunk before making the run. However, there might have been an understanding that the hauler didn’t ask the wrong questions, like Han Solo in the original Star Wars.

Writers of some of the previous comments should do their homework before spouting off. The 3 big U.S. automakers are asking for a bailout while Toyota is positioned at #1 even in the bad economy…this is due to the fact that they know how to run a company. As far as buying American, most of the American cars are actually only assembled in America, most of the engines and components are manufactured in Europe or Mexico. Toyota builds all of the Camrys, Corollas and trucks in the U.S. and hires thousands of Americans to assemble them. When the Toyota assembly line has a problem, they stop production to fix the problem while American manufacturers just keep going, making more of the same problems. Unlike the American manufacturers, Toyota has not laid off any full time employees, even through the tough times. As far as truckers being told by dealers to take the cars elsewhere, Toyota owns all of their own transport trucks and employs their own drivers. The vehicles are allocated to the dealers based on prior sales. Toyota will never ask for a bailout from the government (which is essentially US, the taxpayers). I own two Toyotas currently and would not drive an American made vehicle, and I am an American! My husband has an American made pickup and has had nothing but problems with it. I’m just glad we have a choice on what we spend our money on, quality or junk!! I’m sure the CEO’s of Ford, GM & Chrysler don’t give a darn about all of the junk they’ve made, they’re fat cats now begging for a handout!
