I was traveling across the country years ago when I pulled over to rest a bit in the middle of the night. Shortly after dozing off, my 5lb chihuahua woke me, barking furiously. I looked out to see a man at my window peeking in at me. I immediately drove off and called the authorities. Thank God for my tiny terror for potentially saving my life.
I know you was hauling assss one night me and my sisters was in the car otw from another county it was storming raining saw a big truck in front of us and if i remember correctly created distance miles behind him and it was pulled over soon as we passed by the driver was already ready standing out there waving his hands on yeah boy he had it all planned out pretending like he needed help like sir we not fools y'all have back up tires etc and you can call someone why would you try to flag down a car in storming rain at night ?!!my sister hauled ass bro i tell you that !!😂
This happened to me and my mom and sister we had stopped to take a break from driving parked in a empty lot and woke up to a man standing outside our windows parked right next to us
.. and despite the hassle, be thankful for E-logs .. because with those and mandatory restarts, a trucker has no time to be a serial killer - you are all in the clear.
You know the Truckers could be some of the likely suspects right? Travel to distant places nowhere near home, make someone disappear from their area real easily, be gone with barely a peep. There's a reason it's a trope in films.
We have millions in America with no fingerprints or DNA on file because its racist to know who enters the country Since 2012 we have had intersection cameras that local police cannot access So who is watching and who are they watching for? Obviously not criminals
Stricter laws for sexual assaults, molesters, rapists, bullying in schools, get rid of the backlog of untested rape kits, therapists, places for 18 year olds to live after aging out of foster care, affordable housing, education. Compassion for kids that are thrown out of their homes by parents , or kids leaving as they don't want to be assaulted by family, family members, etc.
Prevention is evidence based... and saves money. We've seen it work in other countries. Kind of like universal health care. Unfortunately, the "temporarily displaced millionaires" keep voting for people who represent corporations instead of voting for representatives and legislators who represent the people. 🤷
@@Trent-s4v sadly true.... Hopefully enough people will read all of P25 and realize the honesty behind "vote this November, it's the most important and if you vote right you won't have to again" Not sure why some individuals want to pretend that what was said, isn't what was meant🤷
As a trucker myself please understand there are entire orientations that teach us about how to contact “truckers against trafficking” so that we can help do our part to end sex trafficking and report suspicious activity. Most of us out here help where we can although the industry has definitely gotten worse with all the egotistical and self centered people that have been taking over, people blow past the speed limit not being safe, truckers barely look after each other anymore much less the public…
It’s so scary this hasn’t changed. Years ago, over 20, I was almost a victim of one of these killers. Thank goodness my dad was in a separate car and was watching the man when he started trying to talk to me at the rest stop. Once I got back in the car and went to get back on the highway, the trucker cut my dad off on the ramp. My dad got back behind me, and then I started hearing a noise soon after resuming driving. This was before cell phones were able to be used all across the country, so we were on 2 way radios. My dad decided he didn’t want us to stop to check out the car because we weren’t that far away from my Michigan apartment. We had to drive at least another 30 minutes, and all this happened at night by the way. When we did successfully pull into my apt parking lot, my rear driver side tire was completely flat. Then when we went to open the trunk, the whole taillight assembly fell out on one side. I was young and I didn’t realize the gravity and seriousness really of the situation, but my dad who I rarely saw tore up was really really upset by all of it. My dad had seen the man at the rest stop go out of his way to walk by and behind the car I had gotten out of. Given the flat and ripped on taillight assembly, my dad surmised the man had sabotaged my tire and yanked on the taillight so he could easily track the vehicle from behind. And once I pulled over for the flat, he could also pull over and then do whatever he was gonna do. At any rate, I still thought it couldn’t have been that until my dad called me months later and said the man was on the news being arrested for multiple homicides while driving across the country. Only then did I realize how close I had came to being abducted. The only reason my dad had followed me on that particular trip was because I had been in a car accident the week before and was in another family vehicle and my dad was just concerned about me. If I hadn’t been in that accident, I would have been driving my route by myself and I would have stopped that night. This was the only time besides my first trip to Michigan for college that I had a parent also come. I am saying out of probably 25 trips or so this was one of two trips where I wasn’t alone. I truly believe everything happens for a reason. I also believe I am here to let young women know how dangerous it can be driving by yourself.
It's so scary these demonic humans actually live to hurt other humans and many are caught and punished but put back on the streets by courts so they can make more money after more people come up missing and murdered. Never-ending money maker for the system. They could put a serious break on slowing down this crime . They dont want to.
When I was 23 driving to Georgia from VA. Basically I was chased by a man in his 50s approximately in a small white junky Ford ranger. It looked spray painted. He had salt and pepper hair and mustache. It was terrifying because he was so angry I wouldn't pull over and stop on the side of the highway. I wasn't that stupid. I flew high speed, speeding to an exit and got off into a business highway. I remember it like it was yesterday 😫😩😫 I'm now 55
Thank you for telling us and I’m glad you’re here to tell us 🤍 To the other ladies: If you are traveling alone (for any reason) maybe there’s someone who could go with? And if not, windows rolled up, doors locked, weapon ready, and do not stop for anyone because women and children have been used to lure people. You are not the police, you are not a superhero: call the authorities while you keep it pushing (and that’s if you see someone flagging you to stop/help). Even on one tire, try to go as slow as possible until you get to the next county/area and pull up right in front of a gas station or repair shop. Don’t get out until you are around SEVERAL people.
@@ZFern9390 it really was extra dangerous before we had cell phones where we can call 911 from the car. I really think I had a guardian angel on my trips alone back then.
@@wordwonderland I want to add to that do not stop at rest stops if you can help it. Try to always pull off an actual exit and go to a gas station/convenience store or even a McDonald’s. The rest areas are particularly dangerous if you are a woman traveling alone. And I suggest carrying AAA. Or have roadside assistance with your car manufacturer. It isn’t too awfully expensive, and it can save your life by sending an actual professional to help you out if you have car issues. You can sit in your car, secured, and wait for help to come. It is much safer than getting out of your car to personally check on something and you have any and all types of random people that will stop. You can never fully know intentions, and this is just rolling the dice. Edited to add : if you are ever in a situation where you are pulled over and broken down, let family know by text or voicemail immediately. Let them know your approximate location. And if you ever have a stranger stop to help you, try to grab a quick photo of them and also send that to family.
When I lived overseas.A naval intelligence officer told me that if the people living in the US knew what was really going on ,you would not want to leave your house.
I’m in my 60s now but when I was in my late teens early 20s I hitchhiked 39,000 miles around the United States. I went coast to coast several times north to south borders several times and everywhere in between and I was picked up by a lot of truckers. Most seemed like really good guys, which, in reality they are.But there’s one guy that stood out that I still have uneasy feelings about to this day. There was a person in his sleeper, covered up under blankets and I rode with this guy for well over 75 miles and that person in the sleeper never even moved a muscle. Never made a sound never moved a leg nothing. at one point we were talking and I said I liked this and that for hobbies and he looked at me and he said yeah I pick up hitchhikers and hang their heads in my barn as a hobby. I laughed and he never did,and he never gave any indication that he was joking. He was a strange person and I had bad vibes from him the minute I got up in that cab. He just kept making this weird low volume sound over and over and over again under his breath as we were traveling .We pulled into a Union 76 truckstop (Old timers will remember those lol )because he was low on fuel and I got out and hung out in the truckers lounge until he left.
wow.... I thank God He gave you the opportunity to escape and the wisdom to do so. So many don't seem to pay heed to obvious danger. But no one deserves to be harmed for it.
The main purpose of CEOs isnt to run a company, it's to take the fall when a company fucks up and make their customers/investors mad. When that happens the CEO then resigns and gets a severance. The company then gets a new CEO and a "new direction" so the customers shut up. That's why they get paid so much, and it's why a CEO can resign after "ruining" a company, only to be immediately hired by another one.
This Georgia lady truck driver appreciates this news story and your support for the majority of us good people behind the wheels of 18-wheelers. Thank you.
We have life saving truck drivers. I’m from Springfield, Missouri. My husband, at that time he worked for the RailRoad. And he was transferred to billings Montana for about six months. It was really hard on us. I made about four trips to Billings, Montana. He made more trips because he got more time off. But those trips were long and hard and I drove them. Everyone of them drove I didn’t fly. I wanted to see the scenery in the beauty of it. But I didn’t know how dangerous it was either. As I was leaving Montana in September. Just crossing the border. Without any warning. A blizzard hit. I was absolutely terrified. I could not hardly see my soul was a trucker up in front of me. And all I could see was the stack. And the black smoke coming out from the stack and I got behind that. In the truck was blowing snow all the way around me. I got close enough. Where the snow was going past me instead of hitting my windshield. Then all of a sudden I saw lights flashing behind me. I’ve almost got tears in my eyes, talking about it now. Another trucker got it Behind Me. And they kept me safe in between them too. Until we got out of the blizzard. I think God for them to this day. I was in a small Kia Sportage. And that wind was blowing so hard. But between the two of them. They called it the cradle, I was absolutely safe. God bless them truckers. For keeping people like me safe from the road. They knew I was by myself. You can tell they were talking to each other because if I got off the road a little bit that trucker would follow me and get me back in line. Who is Behind Me. God bless the truckers. They got me home safe.
I attended a seminar on profiling serial killers back in the 90s when I was working on my degree. The FBI agent said back then they were tracking at least 18 different serial killers.
What they might be overlooking, is that the killer probably _IS_ one of those family men, one of those perceived "good dudes". Somebody cold, yes. Hidden in plain sight. but when they're out there they are a different person
Most truckers are really good people; they help guide traffic through stormy mountains, they radio 911 for automobile accidents, they render first aid and even get folks to safety. I've been blessed with good Ole American Truckers. ❤
I'm a trucker (37 years), have two boys driving truck (they are 4th generation drivers), the large majority of truckers are good decent people, however like any other career field there always a few bad apples .
They should go to the south. Seen school age girls getting in trucks and their pimps out in broad daylight in memphis. Disgusting prolife christian hypocrisy.
To make a long story short, earlier this year, I was in a traffic dispute, however. The motorist identified himself as a federal agent, but I knew he wasn't. I called the police to report the incident, but he denied impersonating a federal agent. I told the police that my major concern was that he would try the same tactic on other women, but the police swept the incident under the rug.
Always record every interaction. Especially one like that. Not hard to get a discrete bodycam. Keep it in your pocket and in situations like that, discretely put it on and then begin the interaction. It’s good you called the law, but you need to bring evidence sometimes. Sometimes people don’t admit. After all they have no incentive to
the reporter starts out saying "in 2004 after noticing a pattern..."....so, its been twenty years....FBI is really instilling confidence lately.... not so much
Well I signed a document today with the year 2007. Just saying mistakes can be made. But I wouldn't doubt they've been on this case since 2004 and not really gained any ground .
I pray for justice for ALL of these vulnerable victims. I realize not all victims are prostitutes, that being said, prostitutes are people too who deserve justice like anyone else does!
I’ve often travelled across the country with my dog. I thought it was a good idea to stop at the big truck stop/gas stations thinking they were safer. Then while at these areas heavy dark creepy feelings keeps up while walking back & forth to my car & taking my dog out for a walk, as I look at the lines of parked trucks. It’s confusing, because you would think, more people, more lights=safer….but my gut always vehemently argues this. I swear, it was like it was saying, “ruuuuun”. I thought I was just being paranoid. Now I see perhaps I need to listen to my gut more often. 😱
I agree. In the 70s I used to hitchhike around the country, and truckers were always some of the best rides I ever got. (Oh, and I was just a hippie, not a prostitute or being trafficked).
A few weeks ago my husband was driving home from work at around 11pm. He was on the highway and said two cars got in front of him and started driving side by side. They then moved enough for him to get through, get off the ramp, and they followed him. There’s a long open road before hitting our main road, one of the cars drove right next to my husband and one right in front. Keeping him from moving out of the way. When they reach the main road and my husband has to turn right, the car in front of him turns right first and abruptly brakes on the damn corner almost causing my husband to crash, but he avoids him, goes around and starts driving around to lose them. He didn’t see them anymore after that, as that main road has tons of traffic, a school on the corner, a gas station a business, and close to a hospital. I’m sure they stopped following him because there was now way too many people around. Really pissed me off. Thankfully my husband can be a reckless driver if need be and he was able to maneuver so well. This could just have been a coincidence, but the problem is you never know.
If this happened to me I don’t get intimidated, I get instantly mad as hell. Im that one you don’t want to piss off on the road and I’ll never start anything but you try me, it’s the wrong one
So what you are saying is you shouldn't cut off a trucker If you see a truck on the highway, give them a lot of space I worked at a gas station for 3 years as the night manager I would find pocketbooks and women's wallets with everything in them. I didn't know if they were women that had their purse stolen or if someone did something worse to them. It happened a lot and the police didn't want them I tried to find a few of the women but never could find them I would not wish that job on anyone Working 3rd shift you see how awful humans are 😢
2 questions) 1: where would you find these purses/wallets? 2) How often was the money still in the purses? If the money was still there it seems it wouldn't be a robbery...
When I was 14 I moved to Alaska..We drove through Canada..We drove the highway of tears..It broke my heart they have huge boards of all the missing women..It still remains unsolved.. Ever since I was 14 I’ve wanted to go there and try finding the guys responsible…I stopped at a rest area on the highway and walked into the trees I found a purse women’s underwear and shoes.. I had such a sick feeling inside.. We reported it but never heard anything..It was scary because I was the only boy it was just me my mom and younger sisters and my 3 year old brother.. We didn’t know about the HWY until we were on it..Every town we drove through they had giant billboards full of missing girls mostly from those towns and 90% of them were native women..It seriously is heartbreaking
I was dismayed but not surprised that a lot of the red dots are in Eastern US. The FBI agent is now retired and wrote a book called Long Haul - what cover ups and blunders did he unearth ?
I've had 2 brushes with serial killers. The 1st is I went to high school with one of Ted Bundy's victims of the UW sorority killings. Making it stranger, years later when I attended college in Seattle, I rented his old apartment in the University district. That was a strange apartment; set up to make it difficult to leave and very hard to forcibly enter. The 2nd is I knew Bob Hansen, the serial killer in Alaska when I was in high school; I'm an Alaskan native btw. This one is REALLY weird, and makes me glad I'm a man. Be advised that this is a long story. When I was 15-16 years old, every weekend I took public transit from my house to my Taijitsu Sensei's house, which was on the other side of Anchorage. Going from Diamond lake to Muldoon if anyone's familiar with the town. I had half days on Fridays and I'd go home, get my stuff and take the bus downtown to transfer. Sunshine Bakery, Bob Hansen's business, was right where I had to wait for my bus; I always had a 20min wait. Well heck it's winter, and the place is open. I go in to stay warm and inhale a couple donuts, being 15 and all. I'm at the counter, and I want a couple long johns but filled with Bavarian cream, which they didn't have. I can't understand why the baker lady can't take one, fill it, and charge me a little extra; being 15 and all. Well this other baker hears this going on for a couple minutes and walks up from the back; I'm 6'3" and Not a quiet person. He says something like, "It's okay Barb, I got it from here." I figure I'm not getting my way, but I Am Not ready to concede yet. Being 15 and all. We talk for about 5min, including why I'm crossing nearly the entire city when school ain't out yet; that I do this every Friday, stay 2 nights then go home Sunday evening. He decides that he'll sell me the donuts as I asked but it'll cost .40 more. I'm willing to pay that, even though I was offering .20 more. This baker said he'd start having 2 of these ready each Friday, as I'm always going to be there. I get my 2 donuts and a couple others, pay, and jam to get my bus. I'm in the next Friday and my donuts are ready. Groovy, life is good. Don't worry, we're getting there ya'll A couple weeks later, he comes to the counter at my arrival time and makes me 2. He says his name is Bob and the owner, then explains someone accidentally sold mine. Okay no prob. A few Fridays later I see My Donut is on the menu for Alot more! $1.28 each! I was paying .68! Bob greets me and says they're a Huge hit. But, I can still get them for .68 because I came up with it; from here on, every Friday he's there to talk with me until I gotta go. He was really nice. A month or so later, my Civil Air Patrol group is called up to help the state troopers with body searches for a serial killer. We're going to help Saturday mornings, whenever we're called upon. We can't take our own firearms unless we're 18. Most of us weren't, but there were 6-8 armed state troopers plus a couple of the adult wing leaders heavily armed. 2 or 3 of the troopers had their M16s over their shoulder. In case of predators.....Kids are small and agile and can get into places adults can't, so we're getting into all kinds of places in the search grid. With state troopers close by. We were searching between the Seward highway and the Matanuska-Sasitna River. And every Friday I'm going for 1 night at my Sensei's house, stopping off to tell Bob Hansen everything. One Saturday, we find 2 prepared grave sites. And something else. The cadet leader's son finds a couple of treelimbs on top of a burlap bag buried. We're come running to watch the cops check it out. It was old so I guess they weren't worried about some of the crime scene stuff, and we followed the path they came on. I was about 4ft away from the bag when one of the cops opens it. Right there in plain sight is a left forearm, wrist and hand. It was really cold, so there wasn't much smell. Plus alot of the tissue was gone. Aside from a couple of moans, it was deathly silent. They leaders and troopers had us all fall in near the vehicles. Now, ALL the Troopers have their M16s unslung. They did a head count twice and had us sound off. Predators my 🫏.... I go to the bakery the following Friday and tell Bob everything. Never knowing. The following summer, I went out of state for summer school, so I could graduate early and go in the US Navy faster. When I got back home 6 years later, I find out from my friends that the Sunshine Bakery killer is my friend Bob Hansen. He was convicted on 4 killings and got life no parole. He later confessed to 18 and they're sure he did Another 31. That's how close any of us can come to a serial killer..... And Never Know about it, until it's all said and done. That's what happened, although I left out the particulars of most of the searches. Have fun sleeping tonight!
Worked security in the 90s at a trucking hub. One of the guards was young and flirty. She disappeared and was found in some woods months later. They never did solve it.
Not sure what you're referring to, but every laptop/computer and document on or written from that laptop/computer leaves a hidden matching sequence, that can be matched to each other at any point of time throughout the entire document. If the laptop can't be authenticated, it's because they don't match.
If they really wanted to find out about suspicious truck drivers they should go to the OTR companies and talk to the ladies who work in the safety and personnel department. I used to work in this field and you can tell the creepy ones that are working there. Even though most people act like they have no clue, anybody that works with people like this know that there’s something wrong with them.
The gut feeling is a weird thing. My mom worked an office job back in the ‘80s where this one guy just gave off strange vibes, and everybody felt it. After the Edmond post office massacre, she even started thinking through scenarios of what she would do if this guy got fired and then burst into the office on a murderous rampage, because he just “seemed the type.” A decade or two later, she found out the same guy was put on death row for killing an officer and I think paralyzing another during a domestic violence call. Trust your instincts!
Truck Stops vs Rest Areas Truck Stops may or may not have working cameras. They are also privately owned. Owners or Managers at Truck Stops prevent cops from sitting and watching Truck Stop activity. It cuts into the truckers coming in to use the truck stop and spending money. It’s a protected crime area. Drugs and Trafficked people. Rest Areas, usually dark, no working lights, no cameras cops sometimes hang out and watch activity. No one is running off the cops but it’s too creepy and isolated for most people to stop longer than a quick bathroom break. Trust NO ONE. And I mean NO ONE. Killers can be and look like anyone, lose your preconceived notions on what or who you think they are. Remember this. They make themselves to be as approachable and as unthreatening as possible. They want you to feel comfortable to draw you in. A good looking fit person A feeble old person A disabled person A lost person A lost person or needy person with a spouse or child A broken down vehicle A cool easy laid back person A thin or soft person just trying to help, offering friendly advice A person with a baby or dog (animal) My point is that lots of killers use trafficked people, spouse or child and work to lure others in they don’t always work alone. And when they do they will put on a show to draw you in. Listen to your instincts! Traveling alone? Drive in the earliest part of the day and check into a hotel before sunset. Call the desk clerk and keep them on the line and have them look for you as you walk to and from your car. Prepare in advance and carry minimal overnight bag in with you to your hotel room. Ask the clerk to call you to check you made it inside your room safely. Use a code word. Make eye contact and small talk at every gas station or store. Look directly into cameras and wave. As many cameras as possible. Don’t travel alone if you can help it. Get a CCW and training. Exercise your 2A.
Every truck should have a camera installed in it, and it should be MANDATORY it stay on, recording their every move. Sadly....people just can't be trusted anymore.
Both my Grandfathers were long haul truckers or delivered buses across the country (lots of old drivers do it, there’s “gangs” of old peeps that travel together) and BOTH of them told me at some point to NEVER talk to a trucker, period. And to do all I could to avoid rest areas. They both knew this back in the 90’s. “It’s just not talked about.” My ex step FIL was a long haul driver too, still is- and even he won’t really interact with other drivers anymore after he was attacked by another driver 20 years ago that “snapped” from exhaustion and drugs. Even now, I’m OVERLY cautious on the road…
I worked serving food in a truck stop when I was 16 , night shift 10-6. I was never disrespected, I had no clue such things were going on, and made good tips . That was 45 years ago . I thought the truck drivers were very kind.
@@Leeraystingray no, actually you are speaking from your heart, because of your life , however sadly this last decade I learned just how disrespectful and ugly people can be .
Don't hitch hike. Too dangerous. Also, be careful going to truck stops because if a trucker abducts you, you could be several states away before anybody even realizes that you are missing. One thing that they don't say here is that truckers themselves are prone to being murdered. The occupations that you are most likely to be murdered in is delivery driver, taxi driver, and truck driver. Each company I have worked at, I heard about drivers getting murdered. Twice, it was a trainer got murdered by someone they were training. The last company I worked at, I heard a woman at our sister company got murdered at a truck stop/casino close to New Orleans. When I worked at a company in Florida, I heard that a woman trucker had been murdered at a Pilot truck stop on the Southeastern coast of Florida. Fellow truckers, beware of our own kind.
Truckers are part of the Backbone of our Country. During COVID,Truckers kept our Country fed, during Wars,they transported Everything! We need to pray for them & if we know one, Thank them!
@@Uberqueenbeethe industry is now a shitshow on the verge of collapse. Most of the good people are leaving or retiring and the vacuum is being filled by less than desirable people. Hardly anyone is making good money and some big companies are starting to tank. It's going to be bad I think.
A very unhealthy job. Sitting in the seat of a truck for upto 11 hours a day and on the clock for up to 14 hours per day. Day after day, week after week, month after month. Mistly by yourself and you are so tired at the end of the day by trying too stay awake behind the wheel that a driver does not want too excersise just sleep.
My buddy does it, and says he has a system where he stops about every two hours, and gets out and runs for a mile or so. Rain or shine. Day or night. The carrier gives him sh for leaving loads unattended, but he doesn't care. They hurt so bad for drivers their threats are empty.
@@TLR5759 Ace is the helpful hardware man and it is actually a 5 gallon bucket. I just needed a picture and thought my comments would be handy and helpful and the Ace bucket was right there and handy.
@@Cucumberflavoredmustard Excersise does help a person stay awake and hurt less. If a person sits for too long a period the body starts too ach from lack of movement. My problem was that I end up driving at night in places that I am not familiar with on interstate highways and it is not safe too be running around some places in the dark. There are some very strange animals lurking in the dark and they are disguised as Humans but they are really mentally messed up. On drugs or something.
I was a Merchant Marine at one point. Think: "Offshore Trucker." My coworkers and I would talk periodically about how easy it would be to dispose of bodies in that context with the likelihood of anyone ever finding out what happened being very low. I digress. Keep on truckin' Smokey and the Bandit.
My father was a,WWII MM, so I wanted to join to make him happy. But I was getting weird vibes that I might be tossed overboard in open waters, so I backed out. If your coworkers have discussed the possibilities of that happening, it probably already had. You hear about people occasionally going missing from cruiseliners. And interestingly, you rarely hear that they were found on camera jumping or falling overboard. Guests don't know where the cameras are installed. The staff however, does. 😱
Thank you to the trucker who noticed I was lost and helped me , I was terrified and he got me to the highway I needed thank you for being my hero ❤, glad I didn’t run into this small group
@@GamingKing545 I thought the same thing at first. but the bodies are not found by the fbi in most cases and the more field offices the more dead bodies. there is a definite correlation....
Back in the 90's and 2000's I was on I-80 between Wendover NV and Salt lake city and you could hear late at night someone talking on the CB about murdering women and dumping their bodies along the highway, this went on for years on various Interstate highways, pretty creepy.
Criminals that are up long hours forget about their surroundings. They have to catch them ,and that means data or surveillance. Listening to hours to catch something. One lead hopefully leads to another lead. It's important if you hear anything abnormal on p.c , speaker,or radio report it. They can refer back to the report and there might be a case that was cold which leads to criminals. I find it interesting in my cyber case that they are trying to hit speakers and elevators ect,but can't hack radio. Since I have an ear piece in ear it does block out the sound waves in area or surround sound. They cyber criminals don't know how to use an radio in regards to hand held for operations with a channel,which is old fashioned but they do know about radio channels on fm radio station and speakers / camera hacking.
When I was 16 years old, I was going to my bag boy job and came across the fbi uncovering an area in etna maine where James Hicks had some of his coast to coast women buried. I'll never forget it
@iamyou8416 the big hill just west of the etna town office, probably 2/3 up the hill (where the truck lane is) on the left a bunch of junk is piled there now. The fbi had the road closed and I had to turn around and take 143 to the 95 and then rt. 7 in order to get to buds shop N Save
My dad was a long haul truck driver for years before he retired, and he would have helped anyone out who needed a hand. It’s sad that there is a small group of people that tarnish all of the good ones, who drive trucks. I’m glad to hear that the FBI is putting more effort into finding these killers. ❤ Rest in peace, to the victims.
12 human beings, mothers, sisters, daughters... Murdered Albuquerque Police department did not take anything seriously because the act of serial killer retired or still working for the department!
I'm seeing numbers here about the potential number of serial killers in the US and they're way lower than I was taught back in 2000 when I was considering becoming a Forensic Psychologist. I chose another route for my Masters and Doctorate after I was assigned to read "Two of a Kind" regarding the Hillside Strangler. It troubled me for weeks. The number then was as much as 5X higher than the one you have here. I'm not sure what criterion has been used for this story, but I think the number is closer to 2,000 nationwide than 400 in all jurisdictions.
I work for a distribution center. Drop and hook for outbound loads. We had an empty trailer that had a considerable amount of blood on the floor. My coworkers doubted me that possibly this could have been human blood, even after I shared this story. The carrier retrieved the trailer and had it washed out. Not sure if they had any suspicions.
In Virginia where I live and grew up in the 70s, the federal government had a “farm” for the people they kidnapped and killed. They also performed experiments on them too. Remember when people would go missing from the Appalachian Trail?
Over the past 60 years, there have been countless domestic assassinations by the US government. JFK assassination was the most prominent one. LBJ and Congress covered it up. Around 200 primary witnesses to the assassination were murdered. Police in Texas would either be the assassins or they would assist. MLK family never believed the real people behind their father's assassination were caught. Inslaw software lawsuit against Bush Sr, Department of Justice had 16 witnesses that threaten to expose many scandals. All were murdered and silenced. Powerful people can murder with impunity. Congress did nothing. OKC bombing. 37 people assassinated to cover up governments role. Most americans sanction criminality in their government. See Trump getting elected.
I drove OTR in the past. I met some really good people and met some weird ones. Best thing to do is not travel alone if you can. Fuel up and shop during the daylight. Keep your car parked where it is seen easily. If you break down have a phone and a "protection piece"
Yea, well in the late 1970s we didn't have phones when my car broke down at midnight 20 miles outside of Deming, NM. Thankfully, I had a CB. A trucker made what could have been a very bad night at least tolerable.
17 years of trucking, and i think companies are hiring every dirt bag out there. Companies need to do better background checks on truckers. I say that because i see a lot of shady looking truckers on the road. I walked into a truck stop, and i see all the crazy looking truckers all the time.
My dad told me about a guy who he had extradited back to NV from another state he was caught in. He killed women in multiple states along the highways. He wasn’t a trucker, he stole cars along the way sometimes the cars the women were driving.
NV is one of those regions where I could see a lot of people being like that. Sparsely populated, and the culture is based on Vegas or old mining towns, so brothels, debauchery, and so on. Just a place I'd think would be a hot bed for serial killers.
UPS driver was shooting at people from rest areas along i5 a couple years ago Roseburg resident shooting from Medford rest area when caught I believe. Only hit one person if I remember correctly.
NOT TRUE!!! he is wrong about truckers being the number one vocation of serial killers totally wrong. Medical professions by far is where the most serial killers have been found operating. I don’t know why they choose to ignore this. There’s even research on it. Go look how many truckers there are how many serial killers have been truckers go look and go count and then go look at all the doctors and nurses and people working in the medical professions. You’ll see that he is wrong.
@@7eyesopenwide168 I'm wondering if any of these comments are based off of Gary Ridgway aka the "Green River killer" I read the article on him after he was caught. He worked for Kenworth trucks as a painter,not a driver.
We have multiple serial killers in government,too....Bless the souls of these innocents....The FBI guy speaking sure does a blink a whole lot more than is necessary,and I don't think it's an eye condition. Makes me wonder what he knows,but is not saying.
@@kennethcurtis1856dam little buddy why so butt hurt i said probably didn’t say it was you the jack ass in my comments learn reading and comprehension not just reading
I don’t understand the shock from people commenting. It is well known and documented that the US is the only country in the world with the highest number of active/inactive serial killers. And only a few ever get arrested.
Thank you for covering this. We have problems with Walmart in every state now that have cameras we could use to help ID some sleeper cells. Not to mention the employees are violent in Miami Dade County. Our police force is corrupt.
The amount of times that I've personally almost been killed by semis on the highway gives your profession a way worse name than some isolated shadow killers
@@mustbetrue1602 the worst time that I speak about was a time where I was driving down 3 lanes with a truck in the middle and I was coming in the slow lane. Just as we got over a bridge without warning the semi next to me in the middle suddenly jerked over into my lane. I'm assuming he was pissed at how slow the guy ahead of him was going but he didn't even look. I had maybe a split second to slam on the brakes and almost put the car into the wall of the bridge. Obviously not every truck driver does shit like that but it doesn't mean I have to trust their driving.
@@chuckchilders9966 Not entirely. Weed has been bred to be much stronger than the hippy stuff. I had a bf who smoked daily for two years, and started getting belligerent. I left. Also, weed can be treated. Some made me nauseous, some was fine. Who knows?
My deceased husband used to be a truck driver. He was a good guy who always helped anyone anytime he could. Now me and my family,whenever we can, we try to help the truck drivers.
Hope the FBI focuses on more than truckers. Friend met Gary Ridgeway ( boring, nondescript, he said) in the lunchroom of Kenilworth, etc. when he was picking up repainted, etc trucks for his company. Serial killers are evidently everywhere...
If you use time of drop off and a three point , truck inspection coorilation you maybe able to zero in on reducing the numbers. Be safe out there people.
Perhaps the truckers need to leave tips for LE about suspicious truckers. But a lot of these serial killers are also driving RVs and campers, hanging out in state and national parks, too. As for truckers, perhaps if human trafficking was cracked down at every truck stop, less truckers would be less involved in criminality, and would be more likely to report the suspicious activities by possible serial killers.
Bet they can tell difference between shrapnel and a real bullet wound. Get real if that was anyboybut Trump playing outa fantasy it'd been reported instantly.
I find it ironic that the FBI always says they have information about this and that but never take action and afterwards they always mention that they were investigating this person or that person after the crime was committed. I hear it alot especially after mass shootings Makes you wonder why they dont take action rather than wait until a major crime is committed.
Because they rather try to find ways to call citizens domestic terrorist you know like anyone who likes firearms, believes in the constitution or votes for a person who doesn't work for their agenda
My brother was a trucker. He LOVED, loved seeing so much of our country. Wanderlust. He had it. And trucking cured it . Filled that part of his heart. But he saw the bad stuff too. Was never afraid to speak up and loudly at wrong. Paid attention to his surroundings. Tried to quit as he got older but could not. Its a really freeing job. You see SO much. Good & bad. Be safe Ya'll. ❤
But is it? Most don't get caught because of the pressure to protect. Every preacher / priest / avalangist should be observed very closely at all times , as well as Boy Scout leaders or mentors.

I was traveling across the country years ago when I pulled over to rest a bit in the middle of the night. Shortly after dozing off, my 5lb chihuahua woke me, barking furiously. I looked out to see a man at my window peeking in at me. I immediately drove off and called the authorities. Thank God for my tiny terror for potentially saving my life.
I know you was hauling assss one night me and my sisters was in the car otw from another county it was storming raining saw a big truck in front of us and if i remember correctly created distance miles behind him and it was pulled over soon as we passed by the driver was already ready standing out there waving his hands on yeah boy he had it all planned out pretending like he needed help like sir we not fools y'all have back up tires etc and you can call someone why would you try to flag down a car in storming rain at night ?!!my sister hauled ass bro i tell you that !!😂
This happened to me and my mom and sister we had stopped to take a break from driving parked in a empty lot and woke up to a man standing outside our windows parked right next to us
The police did nothing
Sorry, White.
i’m sure some work with cartel
To all the truckers out there, you are appreciated. You are respected and please stay safe.
Thank You ❗️😊
.. and despite the hassle, be thankful for E-logs .. because with those and mandatory restarts, a trucker has no time to be a serial killer - you are all in the clear.
You know the Truckers could be some of the likely suspects right? Travel to distant places nowhere near home, make someone disappear from their area real easily, be gone with barely a peep. There's a reason it's a trope in films.

As a trucker myself please understand there are entire orientations that teach us about how to contact “truckers against trafficking” so that we can help do our part to end sex trafficking and report suspicious activity. Most of us out here help where we can although the industry has definitely gotten worse with all the egotistical and self centered people that have been taking over, people blow past the speed limit not being safe, truckers barely look after each other anymore much less the public…
God bless you Angels of the highway! 😇
It’s so scary this hasn’t changed. Years ago, over 20, I was almost a victim of one of these killers. Thank goodness my dad was in a separate car and was watching the man when he started trying to talk to me at the rest stop. Once I got back in the car and went to get back on the highway, the trucker cut my dad off on the ramp. My dad got back behind me, and then I started hearing a noise soon after resuming driving. This was before cell phones were able to be used all across the country, so we were on 2 way radios. My dad decided he didn’t want us to stop to check out the car because we weren’t that far away from my Michigan apartment. We had to drive at least another 30 minutes, and all this happened at night by the way. When we did successfully pull into my apt parking lot, my rear driver side tire was completely flat. Then when we went to open the trunk, the whole taillight assembly fell out on one side. I was young and I didn’t realize the gravity and seriousness really of the situation, but my dad who I rarely saw tore up was really really upset by all of it. My dad had seen the man at the rest stop go out of his way to walk by and behind the car I had gotten out of. Given the flat and ripped on taillight assembly, my dad surmised the man had sabotaged my tire and yanked on the taillight so he could easily track the vehicle from behind. And once I pulled over for the flat, he could also pull over and then do whatever he was gonna do. At any rate, I still thought it couldn’t have been that until my dad called me months later and said the man was on the news being arrested for multiple homicides while driving across the country. Only then did I realize how close I had came to being abducted. The only reason my dad had followed me on that particular trip was because I had been in a car accident the week before and was in another family vehicle and my dad was just concerned about me. If I hadn’t been in that accident, I would have been driving my route by myself and I would have stopped that night. This was the only time besides my first trip to Michigan for college that I had a parent also come. I am saying out of probably 25 trips or so this was one of two trips where I wasn’t alone. I truly believe everything happens for a reason. I also believe I am here to let young women know how dangerous it can be driving by yourself.
It's so scary these demonic humans actually live to hurt other humans and many are caught and punished but put back on the streets by courts so they can make more money after more people come up missing and murdered. Never-ending money maker for the system. They could put a serious break on slowing down this crime . They dont want to.
When I was 23 driving to Georgia from VA. Basically I was chased by a man in his 50s approximately in a small white junky Ford ranger. It looked spray painted. He had salt and pepper hair and mustache.
It was terrifying because he was so angry I wouldn't pull over and stop on the side of the highway. I wasn't that stupid. I flew high speed, speeding to an exit and got off into a business highway. I remember it like it was yesterday 😫😩😫 I'm now 55
Thank you for telling us and I’m glad you’re here to tell us 🤍
To the other ladies: If you are traveling alone (for any reason) maybe there’s someone who could go with? And if not, windows rolled up, doors locked, weapon ready, and do not stop for anyone because women and children have been used to lure people.
You are not the police, you are not a superhero: call the authorities while you keep it pushing (and that’s if you see someone flagging you to stop/help).
Even on one tire, try to go as slow as possible until you get to the next county/area and pull up right in front of a gas station or repair shop. Don’t get out until you are around SEVERAL people.
@@ZFern9390 it really was extra dangerous before we had cell phones where we can call 911 from the car. I really think I had a guardian angel on my trips alone back then.
@@wordwonderland I want to add to that do not stop at rest stops if you can help it. Try to always pull off an actual exit and go to a gas station/convenience store or even a McDonald’s. The rest areas are particularly dangerous if you are a woman traveling alone.
And I suggest carrying AAA. Or have roadside assistance with your car manufacturer. It isn’t too awfully expensive, and it can save your life by sending an actual professional to help you out if you have car issues. You can sit in your car, secured, and wait for help to come. It is much safer than getting out of your car to personally check on something and you have any and all types of random people that will stop. You can never fully know intentions, and this is just rolling the dice.
Edited to add : if you are ever in a situation where you are pulled over and broken down, let family know by text or voicemail immediately. Let them know your approximate location. And if you ever have a stranger stop to help you, try to grab a quick photo of them and also send that to family.
Just shows how many times we have come across a serial killer without knowing it.

I’m in my 60s now but when I was in my late teens early 20s I hitchhiked 39,000 miles around the United States. I went coast to coast several times north to south borders several times and everywhere in between and I was picked up by a lot of truckers. Most seemed like really good guys, which, in reality they are.But there’s one guy that stood out that I still have uneasy feelings about to this day. There was a person in his sleeper, covered up under blankets and I rode with this guy for well over 75 miles and that person in the sleeper never even moved a muscle. Never made a sound never moved a leg nothing. at one point we were talking and I said I liked this and that for hobbies and he looked at me and he said yeah I pick up hitchhikers and hang their heads in my barn as a hobby. I laughed and he never did,and he never gave any indication that he was joking. He was a strange person and I had bad vibes from him the minute I got up in that cab. He just kept making this weird low volume sound over and over and over again under his breath as we were traveling .We pulled into a Union 76 truckstop (Old timers will remember those lol )because he was low on fuel and I got out and hung out in the truckers lounge until he left.
Thats crazy yall didnt evem have phones back then to call for help right?

Imagine, CEOs making 25 million per year and we wouldn't miss them for a minute, but we WOULD miss truckers immediately. Thank you truckers.
As much as I dislike CEOs, without a CEO, company would become chaotic.
The main purpose of CEOs isnt to run a company, it's to take the fall when a company fucks up and make their customers/investors mad. When that happens the CEO then resigns and gets a severance. The company then gets a new CEO and a "new direction" so the customers shut up. That's why they get paid so much, and it's why a CEO can resign after "ruining" a company, only to be immediately hired by another one.

We have life saving truck drivers. I’m from Springfield, Missouri. My husband, at that time he worked for the RailRoad. And he was transferred to billings Montana for about six months. It was really hard on us. I made about four trips to Billings, Montana. He made more trips because he got more time off. But those trips were long and hard and I drove them. Everyone of them drove I didn’t fly. I wanted to see the scenery in the beauty of it. But I didn’t know how dangerous it was either. As I was leaving Montana in September. Just crossing the border. Without any warning. A blizzard hit. I was absolutely terrified. I could not hardly see my soul was a trucker up in front of me. And all I could see was the stack. And the black smoke coming out from the stack and I got behind that. In the truck was blowing snow all the way around me. I got close enough. Where the snow was going past me instead of hitting my windshield. Then all of a sudden I saw lights flashing behind me. I’ve almost got tears in my eyes, talking about it now. Another trucker got it Behind Me. And they kept me safe in between them too. Until we got out of the blizzard. I think God for them to this day. I was in a small Kia Sportage. And that wind was blowing so hard. But between the two of them. They called it the cradle, I was absolutely safe. God bless them truckers. For keeping people like me safe from the road. They knew I was by myself. You can tell they were talking to each other because if I got off the road a little bit that trucker would follow me and get me back in line. Who is Behind Me. God bless the truckers. They got me home safe.
Two truckers did this for me and my Mom in the nineties, from St. Louis to Indianapolis.

To make a long story short, earlier this year, I was in a traffic dispute, however. The motorist identified himself as a federal agent, but I knew he wasn't. I called the police to report the incident, but he denied impersonating a federal agent. I told the police that my major concern was that he would try the same tactic on other women, but the police swept the incident under the rug.
Always record every interaction. Especially one like that. Not hard to get a discrete bodycam. Keep it in your pocket and in situations like that, discretely put it on and then begin the interaction. It’s good you called the law, but you need to bring evidence sometimes. Sometimes people don’t admit. After all they have no incentive to
Impersonating a federal agent is a federal crime, like misusing the mail. You can report that to federal authorities.

A few weeks ago my husband was driving home from work at around 11pm. He was on the highway and said two cars got in front of him and started driving side by side. They then moved enough for him to get through, get off the ramp, and they followed him. There’s a long open road before hitting our main road, one of the cars drove right next to my husband and one right in front. Keeping him from moving out of the way. When they reach the main road and my husband has to turn right, the car in front of him turns right first and abruptly brakes on the damn corner almost causing my husband to crash, but he avoids him, goes around and starts driving around to lose them.
He didn’t see them anymore after that, as that main road has tons of traffic, a school on the corner, a gas station a business, and close to a hospital. I’m sure they stopped following him because there was now way too many people around.
Really pissed me off. Thankfully my husband can be a reckless driver if need be and he was able to maneuver so well.
This could just have been a coincidence, but the problem is you never know.
If this happened to me I don’t get intimidated, I get instantly mad as hell. Im that one you don’t want to piss off on the road and I’ll never start anything but you try me, it’s the wrong one

I had such a sick feeling inside.. We reported it but never heard anything..It was scary because I was the only boy it was just me my mom and younger sisters and my 3 year old brother.. We didn’t know about the HWY until we were on it..Every town we drove through they had giant billboards full of missing girls mostly from those towns and 90% of them were native women..It seriously is heartbreaking

I was dismayed but not surprised that a lot of the red dots are in Eastern US. The FBI agent is now retired and wrote a book called Long Haul - what cover ups and blunders did he unearth ?
Tax money hard at work😂
I've had 2 brushes with serial killers. The 1st is I went to high school with one of Ted Bundy's victims of the UW sorority killings. Making it stranger, years later when I attended college in Seattle, I rented his old apartment in the University district. That was a strange apartment; set up to make it difficult to leave and very hard to forcibly enter.
The 2nd is I knew Bob Hansen, the serial killer in Alaska when I was in high school; I'm an Alaskan native btw. This one is REALLY weird, and makes me glad I'm a man. Be advised that this is a long story.
When I was 15-16 years old, every weekend I took public transit from my house to my Taijitsu Sensei's house, which was on the other side of Anchorage. Going from Diamond lake to Muldoon if anyone's familiar with the town. I had half days on Fridays and I'd go home, get my stuff and take the bus downtown to transfer. Sunshine Bakery, Bob Hansen's business, was right where I had to wait for my bus; I always had a 20min wait. Well heck it's winter, and the place is open. I go in to stay warm and inhale a couple donuts, being 15 and all.
I'm at the counter, and I want a couple long johns but filled with Bavarian cream, which they didn't have. I can't understand why the baker lady can't take one, fill it, and charge me a little extra; being 15 and all. Well this other baker hears this going on for a couple minutes and walks up from the back; I'm 6'3" and Not a quiet person. He says something like, "It's okay Barb, I got it from here." I figure I'm not getting my way, but I Am Not ready to concede yet. Being 15 and all. We talk for about 5min, including why I'm crossing nearly the entire city when school ain't out yet; that I do this every Friday, stay 2 nights then go home Sunday evening.
He decides that he'll sell me the donuts as I asked but it'll cost .40 more. I'm willing to pay that, even though I was offering .20 more. This baker said he'd start having 2 of these ready each Friday, as I'm always going to be there. I get my 2 donuts and a couple others, pay, and jam to get my bus. I'm in the next Friday and my donuts are ready. Groovy, life is good.
Don't worry, we're getting there ya'll
A couple weeks later, he comes to the counter at my arrival time and makes me 2. He says his name is Bob and the owner, then explains someone accidentally sold mine. Okay no prob. A few Fridays later I see My Donut is on the menu for Alot more! $1.28 each! I was paying .68! Bob greets me and says they're a Huge hit. But, I can still get them for .68 because I came up with it; from here on, every Friday he's there to talk with me until I gotta go. He was really nice.
A month or so later, my Civil Air Patrol group is called up to help the state troopers with body searches for a serial killer. We're going to help Saturday mornings, whenever we're called upon. We can't take our own firearms unless we're 18. Most of us weren't, but there were 6-8 armed state troopers plus a couple of the adult wing leaders heavily armed. 2 or 3 of the troopers had their M16s over their shoulder. In case of predators.....Kids are small and agile and can get into places adults can't, so we're getting into all kinds of places in the search grid. With state troopers close by. We were searching between the Seward highway and the Matanuska-Sasitna River. And every Friday I'm going for 1 night at my Sensei's house, stopping off to tell Bob Hansen everything.
One Saturday, we find 2 prepared grave sites. And something else. The cadet leader's son finds a couple of treelimbs on top of a burlap bag buried. We're come running to watch the cops check it out. It was old so I guess they weren't worried about some of the crime scene stuff, and we followed the path they came on. I was about 4ft away from the bag when one of the cops opens it. Right there in plain sight is a left forearm, wrist and hand. It was really cold, so there wasn't much smell. Plus alot of the tissue was gone. Aside from a couple of moans, it was deathly silent.
They leaders and troopers had us all fall in near the vehicles. Now, ALL the Troopers have their M16s unslung. They did a head count twice and had us sound off. Predators my 🫏....
I go to the bakery the following Friday and tell Bob everything. Never knowing. The following summer, I went out of state for summer school, so I could graduate early and go in the US Navy faster. When I got back home 6 years later, I find out from my friends that the Sunshine Bakery killer is my friend Bob Hansen. He was convicted on 4 killings and got life no parole. He later confessed to 18 and they're sure he did Another 31. That's how close any of us can come to a serial killer..... And Never Know about it, until it's all said and done.
That's what happened, although I left out the particulars of most of the searches. Have fun sleeping tonight!

If the laptop can't be authenticated, it's because they don't match.
@kevinhoffman8214 womp womp nobody cares
If they really wanted to find out about suspicious truck drivers they should go to the OTR companies and talk to the ladies who work in the safety and personnel department. I used to work in this field and you can tell the creepy ones that are working there. Even though most people act like they have no clue, anybody that works with people like this know that there’s something wrong with them.
The gut feeling is a weird thing. My mom worked an office job back in the ‘80s where this one guy just gave off strange vibes, and everybody felt it. After the Edmond post office massacre, she even started thinking through scenarios of what she would do if this guy got fired and then burst into the office on a murderous rampage, because he just “seemed the type.”
A decade or two later, she found out the same guy was put on death row for killing an officer and I think paralyzing another during a domestic violence call. Trust your instincts!
@@omgsicle do you speak the truth?
Would their looks affect your judgment?
Truck Stops vs Rest Areas
Truck Stops may or may not have working cameras. They are also privately owned. Owners or Managers at Truck Stops prevent cops from sitting and watching Truck Stop activity. It cuts into the truckers coming in to use the truck stop and spending money. It’s a protected crime area. Drugs and Trafficked people.
Rest Areas, usually dark, no working lights, no cameras cops sometimes hang out and watch activity. No one is running off the cops but it’s too creepy and isolated for most people to stop longer than a quick bathroom break.
Trust NO ONE. And I mean NO ONE.
Killers can be and look like anyone, lose your preconceived notions on what or who you think they are.
Remember this. They make themselves to be as approachable and as unthreatening as possible. They want you to feel comfortable to draw you in.
A good looking fit person
A feeble old person
A disabled person
A lost person
A lost person or needy person with a spouse or child
A broken down vehicle
A cool easy laid back person
A thin or soft person just trying to help, offering friendly advice
A person with a baby or dog (animal)
My point is that lots of killers use trafficked people, spouse or child and work to lure others in they don’t always work alone. And when they do they will put on a show to draw you in.
Listen to your instincts!
Traveling alone?
Drive in the earliest part of the day and check into a hotel before sunset. Call the desk clerk and keep them on the line and have them look for you as you walk to and from your car. Prepare in advance and carry minimal overnight bag in with you to your hotel room. Ask the clerk to call you to check you made it inside your room safely. Use a code word.
Make eye contact and small talk at every gas station or store. Look directly into cameras and wave. As many cameras as possible. Don’t travel alone if you can help it.
Get a CCW and training. Exercise your 2A.
This is good advice, thank you
Futile Bureau of Incompetence.
But you have it all figured out in your tiny little world, don't you?😂😂
@joeswheat He's right though.
Every truck should have a camera installed in it, and it should be MANDATORY it stay on, recording their every move. Sadly....people just can't be trusted anymore.
They are looking for good intelligent agents. I guess you keep out running the intelligence because they have never called you?
Let me guess.
What your employer or your neighbour's have designated you.
Both my Grandfathers were long haul truckers or delivered buses across the country (lots of old drivers do it, there’s “gangs” of old peeps that travel together) and BOTH of them told me at some point to NEVER talk to a trucker, period. And to do all I could to avoid rest areas. They both knew this back in the 90’s. “It’s just not talked about.”
My ex step FIL was a long haul driver too, still is- and even he won’t really interact with other drivers anymore after he was attacked by another driver 20 years ago that “snapped” from exhaustion and drugs. Even now, I’m OVERLY cautious on the road…
I worked serving food in a truck stop when I was 16 , night shift 10-6. I was never disrespected, I had no clue such things were going on, and made good tips . That was 45 years ago . I thought the truck drivers were very kind.
The vast majority of American truck drivers are good people with very important jobs. ❤
U probly were disrespectful ed you are just conditioned to not realize it as disrespectful...
@@Leeraystingray no, actually you are speaking from your heart, because of your life , however sadly this last decade I learned just how disrespectful and ugly people can be .
Don't hitch hike. Too dangerous. Also, be careful going to truck stops because if a trucker abducts you, you could be several states away before anybody even realizes that you are missing. One thing that they don't say here is that truckers themselves are prone to being murdered. The occupations that you are most likely to be murdered in is delivery driver, taxi driver, and truck driver. Each company I have worked at, I heard about drivers getting murdered. Twice, it was a trainer got murdered by someone they were training. The last company I worked at, I heard a woman at our sister company got murdered at a truck stop/casino close to New Orleans. When I worked at a company in Florida, I heard that a woman trucker had been murdered at a Pilot truck stop on the Southeastern coast of Florida. Fellow truckers, beware of our own kind.
Truckers are part of the Backbone of our Country. During COVID,Truckers kept our Country fed, during Wars,they transported Everything! We need to pray for them & if we know one, Thank them!
Truckers and mom and pop farmers. Actually, all workers are the backbone of America.

A very unhealthy job. Sitting in the seat of a truck for upto 11 hours a day and on the clock for up to 14 hours per day. Day after day, week after week, month after month. Mistly by yourself and you are so tired at the end of the day by trying too stay awake behind the wheel that a driver does not want too excersise just sleep.
My buddy does it, and says he has a system where he stops about every two hours, and gets out and runs for a mile or so. Rain or shine. Day or night. The carrier gives him sh for leaving loads unattended, but he doesn't care. They hurt so bad for drivers their threats are empty.

how far does one have to be to be able to receive CB Signal from truckers
Criminals that are up long hours forget about their surroundings. They have to catch them ,and that means data or surveillance. Listening to hours to catch something. One lead hopefully leads to another lead. It's important if you hear anything abnormal on p.c , speaker,or radio report it. They can refer back to the report and there might be a case that was cold which leads to criminals. I find it interesting in my cyber case that they are trying to hit speakers and elevators ect,but can't hack radio. Since I have an ear piece in ear it does block out the sound waves in area or surround sound. They cyber criminals don't know how to use an radio in regards to hand held for operations with a channel,which is old fashioned but they do know about radio channels on fm radio station and speakers / camera hacking.

I'm seeing numbers here about the potential number of serial killers in the US and they're way lower than I was taught back in 2000 when I was considering becoming a Forensic Psychologist. I chose another route for my Masters and Doctorate after I was assigned to read "Two of a Kind" regarding the Hillside Strangler. It troubled me for weeks. The number then was as much as 5X higher than the one you have here. I'm not sure what criterion has been used for this story, but I think the number is closer to 2,000 nationwide than 400 in all jurisdictions.
I work for a distribution center. Drop and hook for outbound loads. We had an empty trailer that had a considerable amount of blood on the floor.

Over the past 60 years, there have been countless domestic assassinations by the US government. JFK assassination was the most prominent one. LBJ and Congress covered it up. Around 200 primary witnesses to the assassination were murdered. Police in Texas would either be the assassins or they would assist.

NV is one of those regions where I could see a lot of people being like that.
