"It wasn’t my trailer. The trailer was sold...

I feel for this guy. It is wise to remove all identifying markings from any item one sells.

“Pyle tells Channel 13, he sold the non - refrigerated box trailer in May. “

Huh? The images I have seen show a trailer, of the van type, with a refer unit(at least the cover) clearly on it.

I believe this guy. I ran a terminal for a large trucking company for a few years. I had 106 trucks and 140 drivers out of my terminal and drivers were constantly trying to go into business for themselves on the side with our company trucks and trailers.

Along with our loads they were transporting both humans and drugs when they thought they could get away with it. I caught and jailed as many is I could turn in because this was my rear in the sling. But I’m sure there were many that got away with it despite my efforts.

This story doesn’t add up. He hired a guy in Kentucky to drive an empty trailer from Iowa to Brownsville, TX? He could load all kinds of Iowa freight to deliver anywhere in Texas first. And he says they do this a lot?

The trailer has a recent model Thermo King reefer on it and he’s calling it non-refrigerated? If the reefer is broken then it’s an even cheaper trailer to go through all this expense of deadheading.

Why is he in Laredo if he’s going to Brownsville? To get trailer washed at a blue beacon? There are several blue beacons in Texas. No one goes out of their way to go to Laredo.

How did he get past the border check between Laredo and San Antonio without the guards and dogs being alerted by all the dying people in the trailer? Why hasn’t border patrol confirmed that the trailer went through that checkpoint? They have all kinds of cameras and sensors. Is some government agency in on it?

100 people and their belongings would be about 20,000 lbs and the driver would know he wasn’t empty. That is about half of a full load.

Too much limited hangout and legitimate journalists are hard to find these days.

From Conservative Tree House: That semi-trailer is a refrigerated unit.

I believe Pyle Trucking is a victim, however, I think he’ll blank out is logo, but a lot of used trucks still got the original owner name on it...a few years ago... I saw a St Johnsberry Tucking trailer and the company been out since around 1993...

"The owner, insists the trailer was not filled with undocumented immigrants at the time when the trailer was picked up in Iowa."

Of course not, you moron: how many Iowans do you think there are trying to sneak into Mexico for those high-paying jobs???
