What a bunch of morons.
I used to make that drive every two weeks between El Paso and Phoenix and I can assure anyone that it is an 8 hour drive.
Oooops, I made an 8 hour directional mistake?
Horsestuff.
trail run...I’m sure the owner and his little comment about, “this is my first time being investigated” might be true...but with every criminal enterprise - there’s has to be a first time...
“Never get involved in land war in Southeast Asia.” - Vizzini
“Never hire an Arab to do a simple trail run - they will always screw it up.”
Even though they got away with the 9/11, Oklahoma Bombings, and others - there were indicators that no one paid attention to or acted on...most of the time they do this stuff right in the open - and most people feeling uncomfortable - will turn away and not deal with it!
Dallas to Phoenix via I-20 & I-10 does not, I repeat does not require a ninety degree left turn at any point in the journey. Especially in El Paso.
Oooops, I made an 8 hour directional mistake?
Article says the load originated in Tennessee. Unless the guy had to go through some other stop in Texas, the quickest route to Phoenix from Tennessee is along I-40, then south from Flagstaff. I-40 doesn't get within 250 miles of El Paso, or Mexico for that matter, at any point east of Phoenix.
