DISCLAIMER: In no way am I suggesting people sell dope. This is just a story about how some people I know did it.
2 guys, friends and neighbors, used to drive from The Emerald Triangle (N. Calif.) to the L.A. area every year, right after Thanksgiving, with about 20 pounds of pot. They knew people in L.A. who were expecting them.
Eric & Rocky like to do things right. They bought an old beat-up 2nd hand pick-up truck, the kind construction guys use, with a rack and metal cabinets on the side. They bought it to specifically use for this 1 trip a year.
They painted E & M Contracting on the side, had a cell phone in the name of E & M Contacting, even had some invoices printed that said E & M Contracting.
When they got ready to leave they's put the weed in 5-gal. plastic buckets that originally held roofing tar, paint, plaster etc.
Then they'd start piling on stuff. An upside-down wheelbarrow over the buckets, a sack of cement, power saws, ladders, hoses and other stuff you might expect to see in a work truck.
They wore work clothes. Rocky had a work shirt with his name on it and a John Deere cap, Eric had on a E & M Contracting cap.
They'd set out at dawn for the 12-hour trip, after checking to make sure all the lights were working, registration & insurance were current of course. In other words, no reason to get stopped or harrassed.
There was a clipboard on the dash with some fake work orders & real invoices.
They cruised at 65 mp.h. all the way, stopping for food at drive-thru's, at gas stations for the restroom, until finally they arrived in L.A. around 7 p.m.
They saved money by transporting the weed themselves, but they did it mainly as a chance to get out of town for a few days, travel around and see friends.
And also because they liked "putting one over" on the man. They never got a second glance from the cops.
I can reveal this because they no longer do it.
On the other side of the coin:
I read about a bust in Weaverville a few years back. The CHP stopped a car with 5 guys in it. No one was wearing a seatbelt, which will get you stopped sure as shit in CA.
When the cops asked for I.D.'s, they found out that 4 of the guys in the car had at least 1 warrant. And they found a variety of dope: pot, meth, heroin, pills, etc., on the guys and several pounds of meth in the trunk.
They all got arrested and charged with a variety of crimes.
All that dope, warrants, and they're not wearing seat belts. What maroons.
