After 48 years in the industry i was forced to retire with cancer. I helped a girl escape from a pimp in 1979. He wanted the money she had earned and was threatening to kill her. This was in Ontario, CA.
I got her a bus ticket to go home. I was 22.
Bless you Sir.❤
@doylecole --- Hello. Did your Dad-in-law (and mom-in-law) live in Rowland Heights, Cal. 1970's?
God bless you kind sir.
So uhhh you think you helped by getting her a bus ticket? She had plenty of money that she was withholding from her pimp, and you think that your bus ticket purchase is what made her escape possible? Are you serious right now?
@@nunliski people who help however they can need to be celebrated. what have YOU Done to help these people?
I became an OTR trucker in 1998. I was a solo female and into true crime. Trucking used to be a really easy job to have as a serial killer. Now, there is too much GPS tracking, phones, cameras, etc. It would be a lot more difficult now. I am no longer a truck driver, but did it for 10 years. Truckers are people. I ran into some fucked up people, but also met a lot of really great guys. Absolute gentleman that would keep an eye out for me. Lots of older gentleman treated me like a daughter or granddaughter. It was really sweet. Most drivers just mind their own business.
To all the awesome truckers out there, keep the shiny side up and the greasy side down. Stay safe ❤ and thank you, you are appreciated.
Your not driving anymore but are you still serial killing?
Exactly what I thought.
The imaginations here are wild..😂
The true meaning of "body count"
"Trucking used to be a really easy job as a Serial Killer...". !?!?!?
Who, "as a Serial Killer".... you...!?
Seriously, your comment comes across like you are lamenting the loss of your career as a Serial Killer while driving Trucks...
The killers are in hospitals, nursing homes, churches and police departments also.
You damn right they are.. you should see Ontario Canada. RCMP are actually working with the INIA Intel agency knocking off victims of government medical fraud by e indians. Brantford ontario is a big spot.. they literally gave the local hospital there 750 million for covering up nuking someone to death.. havana syndrome my ass
True but just like pedophiles go to where the children are serial killers will go to where the victims are. Being a trucker makes it less likely to get caught than staying in one place.
but this sells books better...

The entire world is a venus fly trap. Enjoy the ride 😉
When I was a trucking instructor we would routinely get apprentices with long histories of extreme violence. In one case an apprentice with three separate attempted murders freaked out that he had to leave town, and a few weeks later a decomposing body was found in a lot nearby. When I tried to report him, it felt like I was talking to retarded people. It was like something out of the movie “idiocracy”. It was incredibly frustrating and demoralizing. What surprised me the most was that the one person who seemed to care told me she couldn’t intervene without the local county requesting assistance during the investigation, and they had refused. The system is completely dysfunctional.
You should have made a report with the FBI since many of the crimes and suspects are intrastate.
That's a great movie
Some people who think this would make a great movie need to put their toys away and get out of mommy’s basement, maybe go outside and see the sun awhile.
I believe you 100%+. There is a guy who lives near us, and he is well known for offing people, and he is deep into crime. He is friends with the police, both major city, village, and township police. All lodge members. They never arrest him, and even go to his place to visit with him. Police where we live are corrupt beyond pale. Far too few good police officers. The few good ones often quit. This corruption also reaches into the alphabet agencies in this area, so there is no one to report to here. If they ever did arrest this guy he’d get a slap on the hands and sent home on bail until a trial takes place years down the road. And some people wonder why vigilantes are making a big comeback. Things are a mess.

May daughter was a trucker. She quit because it was getting dangerous for women. Particularly at truck stops!
Really ?
Well we used to hold the door open for women, now we get a sassy remark from them. Used to take the late night load/unload appointments, let them have the litup parking spots. You try to give advise, you get a bad call from the company. Then you get another call from the company to go help out. Since you're her Daddy I'll give you her some advice, get a local home every night job.
I worked at a loves for about 6-8mo. In that time, 3 people died 1 trucker and 2 non truckers. What the straw that broke the camels back was for me is that the store was robbed with me behind the counter. It's too dangerous, especially for minimum wage pay.
Why? I thought women were just as strong and tough as men?
I think I would rather hear a report from your daughter than this guy, seriously.
It's so hard to trust the FBI now....

@@maggielarkin9314
I guess truckers have groupies also… still. Way back when I was a teen, too far to count, there were trucker groupies who thought the sun shined on all truckers and would travel along with the “herd” in their own vehicles, and each night a new trucker or two under the blankets. Like truckers are the only ones moving goods. Many are involved, and it can go back to railway shipping anytime to be honest.
You are off-topic. This video isn't about the nicey nice truckers...so why even comment? Sheesh!
The fact former FBI guy is pushing a book instead of talking about this problem and why the FBI isnt doing crap.
Is why.. or is because..?
I don’t think he’s targeting anyone I think he’s just writing a book about his experience and I too had that experiences. I’ve written up on here a few threads earlier. So it just is his education and his experience that has led him to write the book. I don’t think it’s like oh I want to bake a bunch of money writing about how a truckers are serial killers. I think that’s not right there.
Of course it's because he and the other FBI people want money. They don't care about the victims..
@livingintheforest3963 yeah people don't realize the depths of complications with criminal industries n the realities of how extremely common it is everywhere.
Glad you weren't taken from us by some sick toolbox stuff.
Reality is it's 1000 times easier to create one than to make someone who will or can do something about it.
Love all n Bless 👍
Yup. He pushed the false Russia collusion narrative. He's a grifter.
My sister owns her own semi and does flatbed. She is tiny at 5’ tall. She’s a tough lady, but understands how dangerous over the road is. Her husband has his own truck too but they run separately. I worry about her every day but she makes six figures so it’s hard to walk away from the $.
Tell her to save that money because they were testing the self-driving 18-wheelers on the interstates when I was driving through AZ/NM back in 2021-2022 and they're probably still doing so today. One damn near ran me off the road. Thank god the guy in the "passenger" side of the cab corrected. I was the only car near that thing for a couple of miles and it STILL almost ran me off the road. Hopefully they've gotten more safe.
if she keeps weapons with her...she'll be fine
@@le_th_Jesus, can you imagine "self-driving" semis??? No way. They will kill people.
Have a good cry and get over it.
It doesn't matter whether it's a woman, a man, a teenager, or a child, we are all human beings who don't deserve to be abducted, tortured and murdered 😮
Never happens.
How many are in law enforcement? How many are in elected office?
A lot.
They have stories about them too but this isn't it.
Not nearly as many as truckers apparently.
They're on Epsteins list. But we aren't allowed to see that.
@optimal8155 and of COURSE the FBI doesn't investigate THOSE, cause these are the people who signed the Feds paycheck,so there's THAT 😏😏😏
Imagine how many thousands of come across the southern border in the last 500 Days
The truth of the matter is since forbidden took office there have been over 500 million illegals who came across the border of Arizona Texas and numbers in California are not even recorded. There have been more child abductions in the last 4 years then they had in the entire 50 years prior
I work around truckers as a pilot car service provider. Most of you won’t know what that is. Life on the road is very dangerous. There is a lot of human trafficking going on out here. There’s a lot of drugs out here too.
The road itself can kill you not just the people. Yes there are predators out here which is why most truck drivers prefer to sleep at truck stops. To avoid getting robbed or worse but that is where the human trafficking is also. And the drugs… stay safe.
Guessing road accidents like collision ect .... Not the fact a good portion of drivers are killers @@jazpes.u5875

Not all truckers are saints. Even serial killers have to make a living.
@@bogeysbabySuch an ignorant thing to say... there are bad people all around us, but because of book peddlers like the guy in this video and shows like Ozark, truckers get a bad rap.

...and not only that, he explained the EXPLICIT DIFFERENCES between the types of drivers who require the skill set to load and unload, make all the calculations, and those who just drive from point A to point B. Pay attention.
Screw truckers, automate the industry.
You don't think truck drivers can deliver a load of goods to a store like Walmart and have the same time have some woman chained up in the sleeper compartment? If you don't believe that it could happen then you're not very bright
I was married to an Oakland CA PD officer, and watch serial killer documentaries to fall asleep, so I know a thing or two. But this number: 450 is shockingly higher than I would have thought. California has been home to many serial killers. Maybe if our parents quit taking us to Uncle Touchy's Fun Time Party Basement for holidays [yes, mine did every year], we might not have so many traumatized kids growing up to become predators themselves~😬
🤡🎪☠👹👺👶🧒👱
Sorry your parents failed to protect you. No wonder you married a police officer. Stay safe over there in Oakland~
~a neighbor over in Berkeley
450 serial killers is so exaggerated, it's funny. And he's only talking about 200 cold case murders. The numbers don't add up. I call BS.
Uncle Touchy became President Gropin Joe.
It's important to acknowledge that there are typically 2 or more suspects for each of these crimes. And likely that each perpetrator(s) has more than one victim. Thus 450 seems a high estimation; unless undiscovered victim estimates have been factored in as well.
I believe the 450 is a low estimate. With so many teens that run away every year there is a continuous flow of new victims. The T/A, 76, Pilot and Loves don't report things that happen in the parking lot. The girls are treated like trash and can't get help. If the USDOT, FBI & State Police cared more about smuggling and prostitution, they could save the runaways that are trafficked nationwide.
Too many DOT cops only care about Hours of Service!
My mother was a practicing psychotherapist from the late seventies until the early nineties. She told me that she suspected there are a lot of truckers who are serial killers cuz it was a way for them to transport, hide, and dispose of bodies.
Yes, but the flaw in your statement is that psychotherapists don't study the kind of psychopathology that serial killers have. In fact, most psychologists would need post-doc education unless they specialize in an extremely narrow area of focus that is called abnormal psychology.
It is psychiatrists who deal in this area, and had your mother gone to medical school and then done an additional fellowship in psychiatry she would THEN possibly have acquired additional post-doctrate education in the very narrow field of forensic psyichiatry.
@@le_th_ I'm not sure what you mean by flaw? She was a counselor so over the course of almost 20 years she probably counseled a lot of truckers. I suspect that in sampling that she probably had a few that were maybe admitted to being serial killers maybe. I cannot confirm nor deny, nor could she. She also would have had to take Continuing Education Credits to keep up on her licensing. And those continuing education credits and things probably did talk about that. Along with the professional psychology journals that she would subscribe to and read.
You could say she also wasn't a Social Epidemiologist that's not a flaw.
yes..... bodies on a very large scale ... but not over GVWR vehicle weight
@@le_th_ I bet you’re fun at parties
@@le_th_ abnormal psychology refers to ALL mental disorders.
Now people are goin to fear us!!! Not all are killers !!!! 😢
I agree. After listening to this it made me sick. It was well researched but there are killers in every profession. I also am in disagreement about it being an unhealthy profession.
I have a great respect for truckers not an easy job to have these days. I dont think they are all that isolated but long distant drivers have it worse what with being on the road for days. I get more concerned over foreigners driving big trucks the ones I have seen are lousy drivers. Yeah I'm not likely to believe anything I hear these days out of the fbi.
but do you have candy?
Your feelings are less important than the lives of innocent women and men.
@@elishh8173What does that even mean?
ppl are spot on to defend the trucking industry. the monsters doing the killing are killers masquerading as a trucker, just like a killer in police uniform is no more a law enforment officer. this shit has been going on for years. praying this helps stop some of these terrible terrible crimes
If you drive a truck you are referred to as a trucker.
When I retired, I went out on a road trip with my son for 10 days. We left Ga.,went to Dallas then St. Louis, Baltimore, and back to SC. It was quite an experience for me, and I’ve never been so glad to get home!!
Well, st Louis and Baltimore are known crime centers.
I wouldn't want to go to those places either.
I was a truck driver for 27 years. I have no idea when a driver would have the time to do these crimes. Other than when being laid over waiting for a load. I worked 14 hours a day and slept as much as I could. That's all i had time to do.

@@mross8792exactly same shit I said

I can’t understand this if the FBI can catch a terrorist why not a serial killer? That number is outrageous 🫨😬😲 I hate knowing that I walk amongst killers in the streets 👹 really scary world 🌎 we live in
They're not great at catching terrorists either, for political reasons they focus on nonviolent groups instead of ones like antifa.
Have you watched the new season of criminal minds? They cut funding for finding serial killers and put it into terrorists.... but serial killers ARE our terrorists. They cut funding at every step of the investigation and make it very hard for the poor investigators. We have endless funding for wars but not in our own backyards and highways.
The average citizen is not priority to them. Only the wealthy and powerful.
They catch terrorists?? Since when lol
Because of the distance traveled.
Truck drivers keep America strong!
Yes, this is true. There are also a lot of predators out there, looking for "opportunities", so you have to be discerning while keeping your eyes open.
Let's not mention the foreigners on these roads today as well.Don't forget them is different cultures , different beliefs
Gee, 'open borders' might have something to do with it...
Truckers used to be the knights of the road.
I believe most still are!

The face of truckers has changed in the last 25 years. Literally.
@@distilledfreedom1840 yes, dark
they still are, this guy trying to sell his book didnt change that.
On an unrelated note, While driving from Colorado Springs to Ohio on U.S. interstate 70 in our van hauling a U-Haul Trailer, we had just left St. Louis Il and was going through Greene county. A sign in the median read "canine check point ahead". Since our dog was not in her cage I decided to pull of the next available exit to prepare her for the checkpoint to avoid her going nuts over the cop's canines. At the top of the exit sat a county sheriff's deputy who quickly pulled us over. He asked why I had pulled off of the highway. I explained about the dog but he insisted upon inspecting our vehicle and the trailer anyway. I never refuse an order by an individual carrying a weapon. He found a small quantity of pot in the van that we had either forgotten about or just didn't think of. As a result, out van and trailer was impounded and we were incarcerated in the county jail for the next ten days. They also incarcerated the dog at the local kennel. This little adventure ended up costing us over $10,000 dollars in fines, court costs, impound fees, late fees, lawyer fees, etc. Not all of the criminals on the road drive trucks. Some drive cop cars and operate road hustles for profit. I later learned that Greene county Il. is one of the more corrupt sheriff's offices in the state. They were even investigated by the FBI after being referred by the DOJ.
So it's the cops fault you left illegal drugs in your vehicle where the could be found? FYI - If you had just kept driving you would have been fine, They put up those signs right before an exit with no businesses or facilities to see who jumps off the highway.
@@DfsOutlier ^^^^thinks it’s ok to put people in cages for choosing how to medicate. It's infuriating that some people believe others should be imprisoned for their choice of medicine. Yet, having a bottle of OxyContin or Xanax-government-approved synthetic drugs that push you towards addiction and death-is perfectly acceptable. I'm facing the same struggle. It's pathetic that a natural medicine is withheld, preventing us from making our own choices as adults on how to medicate. People like the person above make me sick; they bow down to government control and pharmaceutical industry corruption. They consume their legal drugs daily while being quick to condemn others. Just because not everyone chooses to medicate or heal in the same way doesn't mean they belong in a cage with real criminals.
You need to watch some 4th Amendment Auditor channels!!!
@@DfsOutliercalls plants drugs and drugs medicine honestly need people to have decent morals instead of just going along with corrupt laws just cuz they exist
The guy lists two serial killers that happened to be truckers and proceeds to make an entire profession of hard working people providing for their families out to be villains. Truckers are the reason your local grocery store has food right now. If Mr. FBI man knows there’s 450 serial killers out there, he should go out and catch them because the truckers are scared too.
Hard to catch them when they keep moving
@@susanlee8609 well if they can’t catch them, how do they know it’s truckers? Do they have DNA, if so, they need to test all the truckers they’re suspecting and be protecting the public instead of just blaming truckers overall. How do they know these aren’t the illegal drug smugglers that they also can’t find? There are millions of people in this country completely residing here illegally (meaning the government can’t track them at all) some of them are traveling too like the Rachel Morin killer who was arrested a few days ago. I bet they wanted to pin that on a trucker too. I just feel like truckers are a convenient scapegoat for authorities doing a poor job of keeping criminal enterprises in check.
PS I’m an immigrant too, I support immigrants 100% but stating the obvious that there are probably lots of bad guys the government can’t track if they’re here illegally.
@@susanlee8609 also all truck drivers have a CDL driver’s license that they have registered to their home state. Shouldn’t be hard to find them. They stop at weigh station’s routinely on every trip, it’s actually not that hard to track a truck driver, so I call baloney on this guy’s theory.
He's retired.

Thank you for this interview. I've heard of these murders for years. I'm glad they are getting the publicity they deserve. These killings have to stop. 😢
The DA's and judges need to hold them accountable
P.S. ~ I just want to also give a big SHOUT OUT to all the hard-working truckers out there who are helping keep this country ALIVE! I LOVED the Truckers Convoys in both CANADA and USA that were protesting the CRAP Governments we have.
I second that.
As an American long haul trucker. I can totally believe this news. Some of the truck drivers I see out here on the road are creepy as hell. Always gotta keep your head on a swivel!
As a trucker i always keep to myself. At the truck stops i never linger in the parking lots. I never let anyone get close to me. The only time i talk to others is when im inside the truck stop.
Because the internet lets criminals share ideas, techniques, and targets.
This is a worthwhile concern nobody discusses. Kudos for bringing it up.
The internet has been around since 1983 while serial killers have been around for millenia.
You act like they don't sit around and think of ways to kill people from the time they're in elementary school forward (because they DO). Some even begin by killing other children.
There is no doubt that the internet is used for many nefarious purposes, though....
Exactly I've been drivin big truck for 30 years. I used to use MAP not GPS. Now what I don't know won't hurt me, it's now 2024 and I don't wanna know. If I see something funky I'll call the police. Same mindset as 1990s.
Thanks for bringing awareness to this!
So the killers target women who are "off the grid" and are not likely to be missed... just shows that predators are not stupid - they are calculating and selective. Women in particular need to understand this and use it to avoid being targeted. Good report.
I hate to say it, but as women we can't pretend we're invincible if we want to keep safe. Sex work is an incredibly risky line of work and it attracts the worst type of customer. I hate how modern society says "sex work is real work" and nobody thinks about the impact this is having on future generations of girls who will think OnlyFans, prostitution, etc are all normal. We're just putting girls in harm's way by normalizing sex work and I hate it. I am NOT saying ANYONE deserves to be murdered, no matter who they are - but I'm saying we need to be more careful and to not encourage this sort of garbage.

Most truckers are wonderful hard workers .
ffs Of course you are essential? Anyone who cannot recognize that truck drivers are essential to every single thing we eat, buy, use, need, including life-saving pharmaceutical and medical supplies.
The global economy STOPS IN ITS TRACKS if we get rid of truck drivers and this is PRECISELY why they've been honing the self-driving 18-wheelers on the interstates in AZ/NM during late 2020, 2021, 2022 (and probably still are today).
They want AI to have your job because you are THAT essential, so earn ever $ you can, save like crazy, and get ready for your next career.

Mr. Figliuzzi is spot on. I have a long haul trucker friend that I've known for 30 years. He's the oddest narcissist man I've known. Thankfully he had a loving Mother and a tolerant Dad or else he would be a murderer. I have no doubt of it. I'm afraid of him!
It's not the trucking industry that is evil, it's the people looking for a job that facilitates their evil desires.

Where are our Indigenous Women in America 🩸🩸going?
Law enforcement is involved, but they can't find any trace evidence.
Stable Indigenous Women don't just disappear.
How many of those 450 truckers are FBI informants???
BINGO
450 is such an exaggerated number, it's ludicrous. Listen to the beginning-he says 200 cold cases as a reference. The numbers don't add up - it's BS.
Who was Mike Abbell, Phillip Arthur Thompson, or Ray Epps?
@@know-body2519 COINTELPRO?
Truck tracking and cab cameras may sound good but the lack of privacy drives good drivers away
Sometimes they are called assassin's.
Truckers had no problem at all helping organize stalking me across the country swerving at at me on the highway shit like that so this is no real surprise
If truckers were "stalking" you across the country, you just might be a terrible driver 🤣
Police departments organize stalking campaigns and yes across the country.
Not hard to believe, given the way some of these truckers are driving on the road.
Look at what his definition of anti-social is: isolated.
That’s not the definition of anti-social personality disorder. The definition of anti-social personality disorder is: anti-societal rules. A person who does not want to follow societal rules in order to get along and not cause chaos. “ the rules are for thee, but not for me “.
It’s a mental disorder where the person lacks a conscience and empathy. It’s where they can also think and behave sadistically. It can also be mixed with narcissism which is a delusion of superiority. An inferiority complex which is over compensated for with a superiority complex. They are: selfish, self entitled, always right and never wrong, can do no wrong, jealous, hatred, anger, paranoid, petty, childish, immature, lie, manipulate, competitive, prone to drug or other addictions to fill a void of emptiness, that they feel inside because they lack empathy, the feeling of warm, loving feelings for self and others, so often times they feel bored and stir up chaos for entertainment. They are like the Norse god, Loki, a sneaky, evil, deviant, entity, to feel something. To feel a sense of superiority in order to boost their fragile ego.
Hate radio really changed trucking.
Ridiculous. Hate radio being, I suppose, conservatives whose opinions disagree with yours.
I'd listen to Phil Hendrie on AM radio decades ago. His show was hilarious. Now, it's either religious or political zealotry.
There's a bunch of them in politics too.
Thought you was going to say the White House lol
Epstein
I remember once hearing on a documentary that there are, at any one time across the US, an estimated 80 active serial killers. So this 450 number is a shock.
People who have never driven ANY motorized vehicles can come to this country get a license and go. AND many have nothing to do behind the wheel but overthink the propaganda they are spoonfed via the radio which spawns rage.
Truckers are generally forbidden to be armed.
They do carry.
One does that I know of and he's violent and predatory. He doesn't sleep for 3 days straight. He's very threatening looks down on American woman like we are trash and yet he's OTR to this very day.
I won't say much more.
Thanks to Biden and the democrats
The profession of long haul trucking, creates a lonely existence, also the fact that they are able to be in one place or state and a few hours later they are in another state , I would say tha owner operators are more likely to commit these crimes, the driver if in another profession may not have committed theses crimes. The industry attracts those who are predators
Well said. Glad to see someone with a lick of sense in this comments section.
So glad it's being addressed.
A real thing to be careful of or more fear mongering? There is so much horror in the world, I don't want to leave the damn house anymore
I once traveled outside the U.S. for about a year and a half, and passed through all sorts of sketchy areas where I didn't speak the native language. I contracted malaria, was threatened with jail from a sketchy attempted citizen's arrest (I ran), stood too close to a calving glacier, was slapped by an angry hotelier, got stung by a stingray, exploded with hives from an allergic reaction to coral on an island with no steroids to treat the hives, drove my then-girlfriend who was suffering from a parasitic infection to a hospital where there were blood stains on the sheets of the open-air hospital beds, and was generally living on the edge.
When I returned to a small, safe town in the U.S., I started feeling paranoid, even though I was in a safe place that I was very familiar with.
I realized that I was feeling that way because of American media. Everything is an existential crisis, most shows are laced with vicious violence, and half of advertising is focused on telling you that you aren't good enough, that you're in some sort of danger, and that you need the advertiser's products to save you.
There's an old saying in American news media - "If it bleeds, it leads" - so we are bombarded with paranoia-inducing sounds and images. If a million good things happen on a given day, and one bad thing happens, the media will focus almost entirely on the one bad thing.
For many Americans, if they could somehow insolate themselves from media, they would be quite relaxed, and would feel safe. I felt much less paranoid in truly dangerous places around the world than I did when I returned to a relatively safe place in the U.S.A.
Please do not demonize the truckers and trucking industry as they keep our nations running. I know the good truckers will take care of the bad apples in that environment.
There's a high percentage of OTR truckers who are convicted felons. They can get into this profession easily if they have a class A driver's license.
And Im about to have my BS in Forensic Psych to be a profiler 🎉
I'm a truck driver. I don't run Long Haul, anymore. We've known for a long time that this is a career that attracts that kind of person. The world doesn't have much use for traveling salesmen, anymore.
Interesting interview, but was it necessary to talk about the gross torture and killings of the victims. The conversation shouldn't titillating like a Sick Prono book... Stick with the Criminal mindset.
As a long haul trucker, i feel you could also narrow down the field by separating company drivers vs owner operators. The O/O has no supervision and has much more freedom than a company driver has.
It doesn't help when this dude just told everyone exactly how they do it step by step.
like CNN during the Gulf War, right?
There are many many times that number thanks t ol joe letting them cross the border unhindered
At least Biden admin is completing the wall that Trump didn't finish. The wall that Trump said Mexico would pay for.
Does the increase of: 1. illegal immigration 2. illegal aliens
in rhe trucking industry
Have a correspondence with the increase of sex crime murders along the highways?
My older brother was a serial killer with a CDL and drove cross country long hauls.
Large Marge been at it again!!
It was the worst accident I've ever seen
And we have 600,000 missing children in this country right now. 100 million people dying every year to fentanyl overdose.
Are truckers prohibited from being armed on the job?
I never met a trucker that wasn't packing.
Yes everyone should carry a gun. Not assault weapons and rifles they are not hunting deers or anything like that.
@@Audie-v3iassault is an action .. not a tool . Stop drinking the leftist koolaid
short answer : it depends . check your local, state laws, transporting, arms across state lines , plus company policy .. other than that your question is impossible to answer .. you need to be more precise with your question
Depends on company policy (mostly no), and foremost on state gun laws which can vary widely. No federal law against it.
I have been smoking pot for over 50 years and it never led to doing any drugs. Weed is good for a lot of things like I have a problem with sleeping and eating. When I smoke I can eat better and sleep so much better. I hate people who does drugs all you have to do is say no. And I know some people didn’t smoke before they started using drugs.
lets see if you ever done a "drug" the very word drug comes from the latin word The word "droga" in Latin meant "something that dries" or "a dry herb." This evolved into the Middle French word "drogue," which referred to merchandise, specifically goods that were traded, including spices, herbs, and medicinal plants.
so believe it or not ..for 50years you have been using a drug . whether you think so or not .. think about it ... your using a substance to intentionally alter your body .. coffee to perk you up , aspirin for headache or back pain , weed , coke , caffeine , ambien, etc etc
I think weed can in some ways be a gateway drug, but it pales in comparison to alcohol.
From what I've seen, there is no recreational drug that is more harmful than alcohol, which ticks every box for "dangerous drug": it's physically addictive, it can cause a host of diseases, it causes brain damage, it has a crippling effect on judgment, it tends to heighten risk-taking behaviors, it is so physically addictive that withdrawal can kill an alcoholic who tries to quit cold turkey, it can cause blackouts where the drunk can't remember anything that happened, it impairs motor skills, it fuels anger and physical aggression, it attacks and degrades virtually every organ in the human body, and it's use is not only condoned by society, but encouraged.
When one of the hardest drugs on the planet is legal and socially acceptable, it's laughable to call marijuana a gateway drug.
But don't hate people who do hard drugs, or you'll hate almost everyone in America - if a person isn't a drinker, they're probably using hardcore drugs in the form of "psych meds" or "pain pills," or they use nicotine (another legal hard drug), or they use some illegal hard drug. While cannabis is relatively benign for most people, and has a host of medicinal uses, it can be like a hard drug for some people, and is not without potential serious side effects, since it can exacerbate issues like addictions to porn or video games, it can potentially cause various types of anxiety which might lead to things like social isolation, and it can make some people less capable of certain job-related tasks (I suspect that the average person is unlikely to work on their resume when they are stoned).
Weed vs. alcohol is something like sugar vs. crystal meth. Sugar is relatively harmless compared to crystal meth, and many people feel that they enjoy a higher quality of life due to their enjoyment of sugar, but sugar is not totally harmless, whether or not the benefits of sugar consumption outweigh the detriments. For some people, the benefits of hard drugs like alcohol, cocaine, Adderall, oxycodone, etc. might outweigh the detriments, even though abuse of such drugs can easily lead to an early grave.
Elogs, cameras, GPS trackers are only applicable to commercial trucking companies, privately owned trucks who pick up trailers to haul usually dont have all that as they answer only to themselves.
I watch "Active Self Protection" every morning to get my head in the game. It rarely happens if you see it commin.
So, shouldn’t they start putting in undercover agents in these truck stops?
Who decided the public would benefit from learning of this dark story AT THIS TIME?
Knowledge is power.
Summer time travelers use rest stops! This happens there, too. Truck stops aren't the only easy place for female or male victims.
How many are in the country illegally?
Allot more than "people in charge" are willing to admit.
Legal citizens NEVER EVER murder people.
That part!
I used to drive truck and I'm a woman. I spent many years working in road construction and later in lumber mills. Both are male dominated jobs. It wasn't bad. I always worked hard and usually out worked a few of the men. It wasn't easy for me but work is more a frame of mind than anything I think. After NAFTA passed I went to work driving truck because I was getting older and I wanted something not so labor intensive and I wanted to travel as I had never done that much. Even after nearly 20 years of working with men I was shocked at the treatment I got in the trucking industry. I was sent out to drive team with a man to go from Denver to somewhere down south. When he found out I wouldn't have sex with him and his wife he dumped me in the desert. I drove solo and was afraid I would never make it from my truck to the truck stop to use the bathroom. I was propositioned at the gate by the security guard at a trailer yard. I was constantly harassed at the weigh scales. If I would go inside to eat a meal at a truck stop the waitresses wouldn't wait on me. If I wanted a shower I would be given a bad time. Later I started driving a regular route between Seattle and Anchorage. I was always held up and harassed when entering Canada from Washington. The Canadian scale house men were as bad as the Americans. In Alaska I was told they would call ahead that I was coming. The men I worked with were rude and condescending. I have been screamed at and cussed out for not running over a deer when all I did was let off a bit to give it time to cross. It wasn't like I blamed on the brakes and swerved or did anything that might cause a wreck. In the mean while I was stuck working with men who for medical reasons couldn't stay away more than about 1 hour so I had to do nearly all the driving. I can't even count the numbers of times I have been trapped in the passenger seat screaming to the so called driver to wake up. They finally stuck me with one man who was so horrifying I got out of that truck and called in and said I would never work with him again so they fired me. I was the 3rd person to tell them he was dangerous but the only woman to say so and the only one to get fired. There was another woman working on the Alcan at the same time but for a different company. She committed suicide they were so mean to her.They beat a woman driver to death at a rest stop north of Seattle late one night. I had to listen to them laugh about it on the radio all summer. They said she deserved it because she thought she was so tough. I never heard one man say killing her was wrong. It's the entire industry. Way too many of them absolutely hate women. And yes when a man screws up there is always a reason- bad equipment or road conditions or something. There's always an excuse for mens stupidity but if a meteor crashed through the cab of a truck a woman was driving and she didn't get her truck pulled over and parked just so they'd all be saying stupid women drivers shouldn't be on the road. Another thing that always gave them away I would ask them if they had a problem with new drivers and if it was a man they would always say "If he's willing to learn the job" but if it was a woman they would say "If she can do the job". So they expected women to just already magically know everything and so most would not help her. But a man they would help.
In the 1970s the number of killers was 1500 known psychopaths.
As a truck driver, I am offended by some of the characteristics of truckers in this video.
Crime down in Argentina by 75% crime in USA up 75%%%
Bwahahahaa! 😂
That's really trucked up, man. Audience wishes hapless victims & grieving survivors all the best. Cheers!
Doesn't surprise me... An 18-wheeler cut me off, tried to run me off the road, sideswiped my car with physical damage, then tried to speed away. I chased him down, and called the cops. When the cops arrived, they spoke to the trucker first, and then decided to let him go. So he tried to murder me, and the police let him off. It's complete insanity.
And alongside my full distrust and hate for truckers now, is a distrust and hate for cops.
Government: “Pssssst! Stay home. Scary. Don’t leave your homes.”
Really good interview
Hope it's shared on Social Media
Make people more aware please :)
“Breakdown” was probably inspired by these types of stories. Good movie.
If you know who the killers are then go arrest them. If not stop blaming truckers. This is discrimination of the worst kind.
That explanation really helped me understand the how when it comes to why my childhood bff made the decisions she did. And why my decisions were different.
This guy rode 2,000 miles with ONE trucker and now he is an expert!!! 😅LMAO
That is funny,
