Nogales, AZ

I dropped my trailer in Nogales so close to the border it was next to a tent with a bunch of National Guard guys watching everything going on. The border transfer company was ready and I was in and out in a jiffy.

This morning it was announced that Con-Way will be acquiring CFI. More details can be found here.
