Get-Away Vehicle

My son-in-law, an Alberta trucker was driving along a desolate secondary highway in eastern Alberta. As he was approaching an intersection, he noticed a police roadblock up ahead. He's driving a Peterbilt Super B, which is a semi with double grain trailers, loaded down with 47,000 pounds of barley. Now remember, fully loaded, it takes him about 3 miles to get up to highway speed. The officer flags him down, steps up onto the truck, asks for his driver's licence, registration, insurance, where he was coming from and all the time is checking out the interior of the truck, and trying to see into the sleeper. My son-in-law complies and asks, "Officer, what seems to be the problem?" The officer replies, "There was a bank robbery in the small town just back a few miles." To this, he replies, "Well sir, I'm sorry to inform you but this makes a poor get-away vehicle." The policeman sheepishly agreed and sent him along his way.
