They're also responsible for thousands of urine filled bottles tossed out on the roads
lol…….yep..pathetic isnt it……..
Yep they throw dip bottles out at mopar in centerline, mi.
Millions upon millions
Ugh I hate those bottles. And their pee is always brown.
That's me 😂😂😂😂😂
He spent a year riding 2000 miles in a big rig.
Wrong. 2000 miles is a slow week as a trucker. Not a year.
Exactly. I wonder how much of that book is made up too
She meant 200k not 2k
Well that would be one hell of an exageration. Np trucker can do 200,000 in a year. Maybe 120k maybe even 140k, but no way 200k.
He works for the FBI so they're not used to having a normal work loads.
@@DonFonzarelli-uq9yx I get your point but I almost did it during covid. I did about 3800-4200 miles a week and never went home (they had bonuses). Oh yeah and the e-log was broken too 🙂 I still didn't break 200k. This Fibbing Bullying Imbecile is telling tall tales.
I am a truck driver, and this chills me to the bone
I wonder how many truck drivers have been victims also.
@SarahNGeti IDK don't even want too think about it
Why? Are they onto you?😅
@@CoNtAiNeR93 LOL
This 🤡is promoting a book ,why didn't he make arrests,bullshit.
850 women found. Let’s not forget all the missing women. It stretches into Canada too. We have the highway of tears. It’s a North America issue.
Who are these women?
No better in South.
Dont forget all the native Americans missing
Sad part is they have only found probable 1 out of 100 women. Evil does exist. :(
Matter of fact homicides of women & homosexuals has been a pandemic in North America (Canada, Mexico & USA) for 40+ years
A lot of FBI haters in the comments section. This guy isn't saying that all truckers are dangerous, but some are. They have the perfect opportunity to do this while driving cross country and a lot of time late at night. There are hookers at some truck stops and everyone knows this. The majority of truckers are honest hard working people. Unfortunately, a few bad ones give the rest a bad name,just like in the police department!
850 over three decades? Those are rookie numbers compared to Uncle LEO who is estimated to unalive 900-1300 people annually.
@@TheSmark666 who the heck is that??? Wth😮
The FBI has a severe credibility problem right now, whether this FBI agent likes it or not. And, it's completely self inflicted.
FBI isnt looking for Epstein's clients
@Ralph....
As a southern MAGA guy you are 110% correct! I used to have tons of respect and awe of the FBI and anything that came out of Quanico. I now hide my "How to become a FBI Agent" book on my bookshelf now. So sad. 😔
he forgot to mention the amount of felons this industry attracts.
Being a felon does not mean someone is bad, weed is felony, auto guns is felony etc.
Like trump ?
@dianetan5790
You couldn’t help yourself, could you?
Do grow up.
You are correct 💯. I drove for 25 years and a lot of the predators were fellow employees. After they got in trouble for say assaulting a woman and you look to see if they were ever convicted of such things in the past yes many times that info would show that they had been predators in the past and still were.
@@KumaBean Why is your nose brown?
Prostitution is dangerous.
... No, it needs to be zoned, regulated, and taxed
Illegality of prostitution is more dangerous.
You’re Right About That. Because they are Cases where Prostitutes Either Rob or Murder The Truck Driver’s.
Finish the thought out. What makes prostitution dangerous? Better yet WHO makes it dangerous?
Hunter took over diddys co-op they have to change the pawn sometimes. So noone knows its the big guy. Diddy will fall for fbi set him up I believe. They will figure out how to murder diddy 2.
2000 miles! That's it? That's barely a one-way road trip.
He probably slept most of the way❗️😂
Hell, we did 2000 miles in three or four days.
My mom used to be a cross country driver she told me most guys were strange at truck stops she had to watch her back all the time.
I honestly never got that. They all look when a woman comes into there or waffle house because it's unusual
I'm not a truck driver but used to take a lot of road trips.
A lot of truckers at these rest stops and truck stops give off nasty or weird vibes.
I used to just think they were exhausted from all that driving.
Yeah some of them are evil but evil is found in every profession.
Probably 85% of us humans are just okay.
I think its probably more that people end up being awkward than dangerous, just from the social isolation. To me it seems normal for people to be slightly off out here. Not in a dangerous way, but in a "its obvious they havent talked to anyone in awhile" way.

Long distance trucking draws people from all walks of life.
There’s more all the way back to the 80s.
60s.
As if the industry doesn't already have enough stains on its reputation. Parked my rig for the last time 15 years ago this month and haven't regretted it for a single moment!

2000 miles is a joke

Yep ❗️👍
Yeah u are
@@_DB.COOPERI wonder if the FBI did three days worth of investigating missing and trafficking children? Oh, he's too busy demonizing truckers. You know the guy's and gals that make the trips and keep our supply chain moving.
@@bordereau1 so you disparage FBI Agents who make our country and world safe? Every FBI Agent could be a truck driver if they wanted but not every truck driver could be an FBI Agent. Interesting.
2000 miles is 3 days on the road lololol
I was thinking the same thing. Wow, a whole 2000 miles over the course of a year. Whoopty doo!
Exactly.
I’m not a trucker but I know some, I had to laugh when he said 2000 miles, that’s like a quick delivery for a trucker 😂
What a bunch of bs! And I’d bet money there was NO warrant for Biden’s property.
Yep took me over 2k and 3 days from central ohio to medford oregon... drove strait through with a buddy spent a week and drove back
I like the painting behind the guy being interviewed. Years ago, I hitchhiked many times back and forth from Midwest to West coast, and have had many rides from truckers, and 1) I am still alive and 2) All of them were kind, did not try anything sexual, had good conversations, were good people. Some were one man, some were couples. I never got picked up by a woman driver. I did meet one who said he was driving, and a car had the hood up, so he stopped to help them, he said they threw acid in his face, robbed him and left him on the highway.... because it was a trap, there was nothing wrong with their car. He managed to get back to his truck and rinse it off, then get help.... this was in the early 1970's when there were no cell phones. I am telling my story because sometimes we need each other, and don't be afraid of everyone. Pay attention, stay safe. In reality, I never should have hitchhiked, it is very risky... it was popular back in the 'hippie' times, but one of my friends was killed doing it. Remember, many women get raped and killed by their lovers, men too, so pay attention to red flags and do all you can to protect yourself and your loved ones. Don't get into a truck or car to make money either, there are better ways to make money.... you are valuable! I also want to thank all the truckers that bring us things we need to live! Thank you very much for risking your lives in all kinds of weather, you have done so much good for people, you are valuable!
Thank you for one of the kindest articles. My brother and nephew do this kind of work and it is lonely job. Yet owner operators are some of the smartest, most levelheaded citizens we have!
I hitchhiked across the country when I was young. There ARE some weirdos out there.
Point well taken. I know a woman who got murdered after she was hitchhiking. I did not know her very well. I had met her for maybe only an hour.
I had friend years ago, who didn't have any skills, was having a hard time making money, so she started "stripping", man, after a few months she would sometimes make a grand a night, then she got other girls to join her business, she pretty much became a CEO. Last I heard shes retired, has a family.
She also never had to have sex with anyone. She wasn't a super model either, but when you get a bunch of half drunk guys in a room you don't have to be.
Yeah people want to see the skin. There's a woman called human on the loose on UA-cam. She puts out these videos about her bicycling trips through the mountains and single paths and dirt roads in the Western United States. She has one with the front picture of herself going into a lake showing a lot of skin especially around the back side. She said that particular one got more hits more likes than any other videos.
Maybe he should write a book about physco cops. Theres plenty of them out there too.

Lmao! IKR?!
That is 5.6 miles per day.....

I'm an 18 year driver. And a proud one at that. Evil has no boundaries. It exists in every profession. For this dude who rode a whopping 2k miles and has the audacity to call us all monsters is truly appalling to me
Obviously, you were looking at something totally different than what I watched and heard. he did not say ALL truckers. You need to calm down you’re getting triggered. All we need on the road is an angry trucker.
I agree. Experience this line of work before criticizing or mocking. Thank you for what you do, someone has to!😊
That SOB FBI dude just found a subject that he can Demonize,write a book scare the H out of everyone,cause more disrespect towards truckers and make lots of money doing it. What a sorry A individual❗️
No reason to get upset, what he’s saying is true. Long haul trucking is the perfect job for a serial killer. The distances involved make it very difficult to spot a serial killer because his crimes can be several states apart. With the advent of VICAP, it makes it easier to connect cases from different parts of the country, but it prior years it was difficult to connect cases in the next county or two over, much less different states entirely. What once was a golden opportunity for serial killers, is now having the loophole closed via technology. Doesn’t change the fact that an over the road trucker still has the opportunity to commit crimes in multiple jurisdictions, making them harder to connect. Same goes true for any occupation that involves a lot of cross country travel. Pilots, salesmen, entertainers, any profession that keeps a person on the road.
@@KevinThomas-ok2evWell said!
I’ve met some psychopathic truckers in my day. I had one speed up in a passing lane and cut me off as a car was coming the other way. Had I not slammed the breaks on he would have killed me. Could see him laughing in the process. Had another one that was a roommate years ago and he did meth and popped pain pills. Wasn’t until he passed out on the road, smashed his truck into a tree and passed out that his license got revoked. On the other hand my dad’s best friend as a kid was a trucker and one of the nicest guys I’ve ever known.
I had a guy try to run me off the road in a merge he came over like I wasn't even there when he had plenty of room. I had to lock my brakes up for about 100ft but I managed to avoid contact. Guy was laughing too.
I have had plenty of people in cars do these kind of thing to me when I was driving a Truck,bottom line the world is full of NUTS ❗️
Yes, similar experience. About to go through roadworks that reduced country road at bottom of a mountain to one lane. Noticed a truck coming down off the mountain at speed. Realised he wasn't going to stop and put on my indicator to let the drivers behind me know what was happening and pulled quickly into the blocked off lane. A few traffic cones may have been harmed in the process...luckily the drivers behind me did the same and we all got out of his way just in time as he barreled through at speed. His face was blank. A truck driver behind him going slowly looked confused and appalled. I was just so glad nobody got hurt I took off. I always wondered why he did that. Did his brakes fail? Was he trying to kill us?
0:05 “He spent a year going 2,000 miles…”
Me: Haha, Aww she must’ve misread 200,000 miles on the teleprompter
…Nope, she read it right.
Thats what i thought 🤣🤣🤣
Drivers drive more than 2000 a week😂
But they don't do 200. Maybe 100k?
Did Long Haul 20 years. Conditions continuously got worse . Much more safe parking needed . It's depressing the respect we don't get

Who are they killing, sex workers? I ask because I can't recall a "lady of the night" banging on my door at 2am, in the last 8-10 yrs. I drive long haul and honestly the Truckers Against Trafficking campaign, tighter security at truckstops, 24 hr on board video surveillance on semi trucks and a general shift away from prostitution, there aren't any working girls anymore. I have been long haul for 27 years now and there was a time when I dreaded parking at truckstops due to the constant door knockers.
Lot lizards 🦎 are still slithering out there.
When i used to drive a truck, i was at a truck stop in san Antonio and seen a lot lizard get in a truck with a guy that left and when he got back, she wasn't with him. Maybe she was dropped off somewhere or maybe she wasn't, that was back in 2005

Thank you for your service!
👍👍
you are not among one. imagine how many truckers out there on the roads every day
Well there are steering wheel holders then there are truckers with diesel fuel running in there veins. Die hard that as children dreamed about big rigs and growing up just wanting to turn 21 and hit the coast to coast. Big difference. Not all the same
I liked your comment, Sir💪. Please stay safe out there🙏
I experienced one trucker, and a group of truckers try to run me/my pick-up off the road for sport on a couple of my cross-country trips. It was terrifying. When I tried to speed up or slow down, they would let one of the others know and I'd get ganged up on again.
I've often wondered if people were thought to have fallen asleep at the wheel and died, but is was a situation like mine - homicidal truckers.
I strategically timed my stops/fill-ups for daytime only, due to all the stories I'd heard growing up.
On another note, I had one protect me for many miles late at night: keeping me awake by honking right next to me whenever I seemed sleepy.
Seems so dramatic that you were up to something else or irresponsible as hell. No normal female travels in her car and has what seems like a war story of mutiple battles about truckers trying to "get her". I'm not buying it, and you just have a weird experience. That is not normal for any one female traveling in a vehicle.

Maybe you should point out its a known Felon Friendly job. When you get out of prison this is the job you get! Duh!!! Don't point out the obvious, how stupid!!!

This is insane
Actually it isn't. This is another example of sketchy news reporting designed to create cognitive distortions like the one you just expressed. He said 850 murders over the course of several decades which implies more than one decade. So let's say his timeframe is 20 years or two decades which would be a bare minimum given his use of the phrase "over several decades." There's an average of 22,000 homicides in the US each year so over two decades there's been roughly 440,000 homicides of which based on my assumption of two decades there's been 850 homicides caused by long haul truckers. That calculates to 0.19% of all homicides over the course of 20 years were caused by long haul truckers. In other words, 99.81% of all homicides were not caused by long haul truckers. So they're statistically not even responsible for 1% of all homicides. This is another news story that has gynocentric overtones designed to make men look bad. But the data doesn't lie; the data never lies....
I thought about this years ago. I believe it
I hate passing these trucks on the highway, been run off the road by one and it scared the 💩 outta me. 😢
What about all those RV’S and CAMPERS . It could be them
Absolutely, I’m sure you’re correct about some of them too. But that doesn’t absolve the truckers
😮I would never forget them showing a lady in New Jersey hanging. out of a cab of a big rigs screaming and hollering for someone to help her. They have been at least 5 years since I seen that. And before anyone can get to them he drove off but I .always wondered what happened to this lady.
FBI estimates 450 serial killing drivers out there among all the drivers out on the road today. Female drivers getting SA’d and harassed at truck stops more often. And clowns in here getting butthurt this guy didn’t spend enough time in a truck. Why should he have to. He’s trying to get a message out there.

That’s actually an EXTREMELY small number
Funny how ppl can listen to this and eat up every word. 2000 miles is not impressive nor has it even begun to scratch the surface of the trucking industry.
Been in the trucking industry as a long haul for over 10yrs, and as a female trucker I have to say we get alot of negativity from ppl that don't have the slightest clue what it's like to be out here.
And based on this dudes statistics because I enjoy isolation and being alone means I'm gonna be a killer? That's a laugh, I enjoy the peace and quiet cuz ppl are idiots. This video proofs that.
That’s your take away? Jesus… They’ve estimated there’s about 450 drivers out there serial killing and dumping bodies along our highways and that’s all you got out of it and your a female driver too? Lame…
Your comment is funny and so true. Peace of mind is what I get from being a driver.
Come to California and pick me up 😮
A lot of men especially think up doing bad things to people when they have a lot of time alone. If they are of that mindset. I knew a guy that did time in prison and he said he thought up crazy stuff while he was in prison. He passed away a few years ago but yes some people isolation affects them.
He NEVER said that! It's a profile, a starting point, for investigating murders along a route...

Wow this is scary!
That's not that many when you think how many truckers there are.

It makes so much sense because they show up and then leave.

Spent a year driving 2000 measly miles? That’s less than a weeks worth of miles for a solo trucker.
2k miles huh? Really? I drove more than that one way from ohio to Oregon... he didn't investigate to hard.
My buddy drove for prime for a while.
At some point one his coworkers was sent to pick up a tractor. It was full of computer related stuff. This guy thought he could sell it.
Then someone explained to him that he should not touch it.
The previous driver was found with a bound and gagged lot lizard, and a laptop full of videos of missing and dead women.
This guy still pops up in youtube shorts.
Dud you just wrote a bound and gagged lot lizard????! Just the fact you write such a callus sentence about a human being shows your character as well.
@@ceeceel.3098what should he call a Lot Lizard if Lot Lizard is inappropriate ? Nevermind, nobody cares what you think .
these should'ant surprise any one and i would bet my house that they is way more than 850 murders committed by ' truckers"
more like 85,000 world wide 😔
I had a coworker who said he drove truck for 30 years, he had to retire because of his health. He said to me once that North Dakota and Wyoming was his favorite places to drive, I asked why? He said easy places to hide a body and busted out laughing. It sent chills down my spine.
You Nestor repite him, maybe he is one of those killers!
Easy place to hide a body?
A little math helps put this in perspective. With 21,000+ murders a year, and who knows how many abductions a year, 850 murders over several decades is not that staggering. Still tragic but there are 3.5 million truck drivers (not sure how many are long haul) so maybe not as dark as it appears in this tiny segment.
Until you look at the map and consider those are just the bodies that have been found.
But that's 850 committed by people with the exact same occupation. That's not a coincidence. Currently, there are 25 in prison with the same occupation.
850 murders along highways does NOT equal long haul truckers automatically being suspects... the reasons for victims being on highways are many.... highways are natural crime dump areas..... highways are convenient for commuters as well as murderers.... don't paint all truckers like this, it's irresponsible at best...
Sadly I'm pretty sure there's more than 850 murders along the area of the highways and then you would have to include missing people who haven't been found yet😮 No one but you thought he was lumping all truckers into this there's hundreds of thousands of Truckers. Most people just start off with it's a given that that is the case. His book was just referencing the ones that they have been able to connect to them more specifically. He also mentioned that rhetoric can lead to violence that is why it's important to not be lying and inciting people fire and brimstone can lead to problems just for the sake of Chaos😅
It’s often telling when one jumps to such defensive conclusions. 850 is a very low number. There are thousands actually. Just the MMIW numbers alone are over 1000 and grow each year when you include Canada if you include all the years going back to when the counts began. It’s not like anyone is being picked on for no reason. Some of the missing were last seen at truck stops or getting into a truck. And no one has pointed to ALL truck drivers or the entire industry. But if you’re unwilling to look around you and keep an eye out for your fellow truckers safety because you can’t handle the thought that there may be some evil amongst you, that’s kind of cowardly ain’t it?

The data of the 850 murders in the book have ties to trucking and some have been solved and have lead to convictions of truck drivers already. I could give a crap about your opinion. The data the FBI has has already lead to some convictions of truck drivers that were committing serial murders. They’re trying to solve more. You can choose to remain blind and miss the point of the video but nobody’s picking on you.
Lmao! "He spent more than a year riding 2,000 miles" lady, I drive 3,000 to 4,000 miles a week!
But, do you sleep in your vehicle, have limited human contact, get propositioned by lot lizards and suffer by depression and a longing for solitude?
He's an investigator. Not a trucker. Duh..
@@sclogse1 No fuckin shit! But 2,000 miles over a one year period is nothing, most people drive more than that.
@@ArtSmith-cg7uc 2000 ÷ 365 is literally less than 6 miles a day 💀
Even just saying 5 days a week is still less than 8 miles a day lol
Was at a truck stop, woke up to police cars in front of my truck, they found a dead woman.
Long haul trucker here (not a s.k.! 😅) I can't wait to read this book!!!
It's funny how the segment ended with Vargas and this guy talking about the rhetoric endangers FBI Agents etc, but this guy is basically accusing all truckers of being serial killers..you don't think that rhetoric doesn't endanger them??
Uh, how did you get "basically accusing all truckers..." as a take away?
He didn’t. Stats over many truck drivers are serial killers. It does not say all. What this means is serial killers monsters choose this profession for harming vulnerable ppl.
He did not.. You made that up in your head.
And its gonna get way worse with all the migrant truckers driving now
I said, this fact back in the mid 80's. It is the perfect cover.
My Brother is 71 yo and a retired long haul trucker for 15 years and he's been saying this all along.
I watched a documentary about this same topic a few years ago. It's definitely real.
My kid is a driver and I go with him sometimes and I can truly say ... I have never ever been disrespected or bothered by anyone ever!!! But my kid wasn't raised for this kind of world
I once had a truck driver attempt to kill us with his truck on an empty interstate. It was obvious and scary.
My grandma always told me that truck drivers were serial killers 😳 I miss her so much.
Far more than 850
You would think they would have a system that tracks all of the cargo being shipped inside the United States. Then it's as simple as having a computer program. Give you a list Of trucks?
That are in those areas at that time.
Many of the victims are never reported or investigated. It’s preying on the invisible people
this is bs to sell a book
I can certainly believe it.
So many, so sad💔
Human trafficking for reals🤢
FBI estimates 450 serial killing drivers out on the road currently… That’s terrifying
@@bizygirl1 that’s insane! What’s driving them I wonder ….
@@sweetsongstress7398The profession and lifestyle make it very convenient i suppose
I drove almost 900 miles in two days running up to CT on a weekend…2k miles is kind of a joke lol
The numbers are staggering...
2,000 miles ain't even a week. What an expert P$@@Y on trucking he is. Cameras in trucks and GPS tracking mandated by the FED Gov coming to your privately owned vehicles. PLZ MSM stop the fear porn would yah.... 500 miles a day is 4 days on the road. To make a living you gotta run 3,500 to 4,000 miles a week.
Maybe some answers for MMIW?
Correct
I said the same thing… All across the US and Canada
2000 miles in a year ? Did I hear that right? That’s a long weekend!
2000 miles? So not even a week…
1:00 that's literally every state except VT.
You’d have to be really stupid if you didn’t realise there are people out there hunting people
I wonder if after riding the 2k miles in a truck and sleeping in the sleeper cab did he get the urge to unalive someone.
I did Long haul trucking for a comparatively short period of time back in the 1970s an early 1980s. I never met anybody I suspected of being a serial killer. I most certainly did meet people of whom I was very suspicious. I can tell you this right now. If I get that feeling about a person it's always every time true. Might not be provable in a tangible way but many times it was proved in a tangible way. I was right every time.
I used to drive an met many people most good but some gave ya the chills ....we worried about rocks being thrown mostly ....
vey true. i know families in new york who brag about using semi truckers as hitmen
We've been shouting this for decades. Not all truckers are bad guys obviously, but bad guys are drawn to that profession because it's easy to get away with stuff.
So glad this is being investigated and brought to light so potential victims can save themselves.
That said, long haul truckers are also disappearing and turning up dead miles away from their rig.
The highways are dangerous and nobody suspects it.
JUSTICE ❤ 4 noah presgrove
“Im looking for candy cane “
🤣👍👍
So sad. I knew someone that was a truck driver 40 years ago. It was a fraternity in a good way. Now in a bad way
They made a movie about this 20 years ago called Joyride. Been going on for years .
Yes and that movie should not be sold in truck stops it's crazy that the movie was for sale in major truck stops. It could put something in driver's mind if they were of that mindset at all.
Yeah and taxi drivers are responsible for severe flatulence too!!!!
Uber and lyft as well!
I was in a Sams Club prking lot trying to get my car to start around 2AM when i stumbled across a truck driver. I asked him for help, and he eventually helped me to start my car. We had a 30 minute conversation. At one point in the conversation, he got fidgety, his eyes got wide, and he flashed his gun at me. I did the best i could to calm him down unnoticably. He also talked about his mental struggles, and how he was involved with drugs and gangs until he remembered his roots and how he got out of that life getting his CDL. I'm not sure if i was talking face-to-face with a killer that day, but there's a pretty good chance that i was.
He should expose how the FBI allows drugs traffic as well!
Yikes. I live next to a truck stop. Who would've thought?
