This cat towing two vehicles at once down I-12 This evening

No license tag on any of the tree vehicles.

One driver, other vehicles unmanned.

I will not go into the demographics of the driver so not to be accused of racism.


So f'd up I had to exit just so I could pass again and take the pic.

I-12 going West?

I see them all the time coming South down I-55. Never sure what they're doing, but it's been going on regularly for about 2 weeks now.

Looks like the truck he's towing the 2 vehicles with needs to be towed.

A. Mexico is not a race.
B. Why are you assuming the driver is illegal?
C. If it's a problem, a State Trooper will pull him over.

Having two trailers isn't illegal.

Some relatives used to haul a 30' camper with their shrimp boat behind that. All with a 1992 half ton Chevy. It was basically a slow moving road train.

Welcome to every Sunday ever.
It’s usually a caravan of at least 4 of those.

Sure doesn't seem safe, but that's why I asked the experts.

Yet you are the one driving and playing with your phone taking pictures of someone doing something legal and in the right lane.

We have to get rid of our trash somehow and they love them down there.

Looks like he scored big at the auction. Maybe salvage cars?

It has been going on for over 25 years, they take a charter bus from Mexico to the bigger used car auctions in Atlanta, Memphis, Phoenix, etc. The bus charges them so much a head to bring them, their tools, and towbars to the auctions. They buy the non-running, and otherwise cars that no one is usually interested in, they try to get at least one that runs to serve as a tow vehicle. They tow to El Paso where there is a agent that will bring the cars across the border for a per car fee. Once in Mexico thy do more work on the cars and sell them for a profit. This has been written about several time s in the Dallas and Houston papers.
