Deputies brought a drug-detecting dog to the scene and the dog indicated that drugs were in the truck.
Inside, deputies found 2,300 pounds of marijuana and 25 pounds of cocaine valued at $1,840,000 and $220,000, respectively.
Deputies are continuing to investigate the incident and are trying to find the owner of the truck.
At this time, there are no suspects.
The truck was a light blue Kenworth 18-wheeler with an aluminum trailer with a Texas license plate.
