Missing trucker alerts drive safety push nationwide
The Missing Truck Driver Alert Network spreads word via Facebook and email when drivers go missing. With two to three reports monthly and seven this year, half are found safe. Cases include a Texas driver found safe in Cameron after his truck was located near Lathrop, and a 53 year old Kansas City man found in a freezer in Merriam. The drive for more safe parking grows as Hope Rivenburg notes Jason’s Law supports expanded parking and measures from a 4000 driver survey showing 39 percent face long waits and 88 percent feel unsafe at times.
