    It’s way easier to just do that without the mattresses.

    Once its in the country there’s no reason to not split it up into a million small amounts, concentrating it into a large enough package to need a specially licensed and monitored vehicle and driver is just an unnecessary risk.

    10 year old beige sedans don’t have to stop for mandatory inspections every 50 miles and there’s millions of people who have to travel for business that would love to make an extra $200 next time they have to drive to a job 4 hours away.

        Box trucks to get them to the actual stores yea but those are a bat signal for cops.

        The mattress is already 90% profit by weight why risk fucking that up by getting non legal racketeering involved.

        Sorry I just know somebody who actually sold mattresses between jobs in their field and there summary was they wouldn’t risk fucking up their somehow already legal racket by taking on unnecessary risks.

        They’re already charging thousands of dollars for foam wrapped in the cheapest thread money can buy they’re not going to risk killing their golden goose.
