A routine inspection at the north border inspection station in Laredo, TX, turned into a three-hour nightmare for one trucker after two stowaways were found hiding in the air fairing on his tractor.

Truck driver Joe Geeting of Rockford, IL, who drives for Altendorf Trucking of Minto, ND, told Land Line on Wednesday that he had pulled into the inspection station on Monday, April 29, when a U.S. Customs and Border Protection – CBP – agent spotted a handprint near the air fairing on his 2011 Volvo and asked him to drive to a secondary inspection station for further review.
