CARL E. STEWART, Circuit Judge:

Appellants Rodolfo Ricardo and Brian Lee Cossin appeal their convictions for possession of marijuana with intent to distribute and conspiracy, and appellant Armando Gonzalez appeals his conviction for conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute marijuana. The government contends that the appellants, along with two other men, participated in a scheme to transport and distribute drugs using a tractor-trailer rig. The appellants allege numerous grounds of error at trial. We affirm the judgment and uphold the appellants’ convictions.
