research for a novel - hitching young girl

Start with a truck stop

 

Let's just point out log trucks usually do not travel that far . From the cut site to the mill. And run several trips a day.

 

Alligator girl eating truckers? From the swamp to the sleeper?
Im interested...see, I'll mentally clean her up and call it from there whether i stop or not..swamp girls can be dangerous and scary up close

 

I don't know that I would pick up a hitch-hiker, per se, but if I passed someone who appeared to be in distress I would definatly stop to see if they needed help. At the very least, I would call the highway patrol or local police.

 

Most loggers don't waste time with truckstops. Depending where the block is in the bush you'll typically see them travel maybe 3-4 hours max from the landing to the mill. Although there was a time in the past where guys here were loading up in the BC interior and hauling down to the CAN/US border so it is plausible that they'd do longer hauls.

I'd say your character would be much more likely to get picked up by a logging truck on a bushroad vs the highway. Just something about a dark forest and and the lack of civilization that would make it more likely for a trucker to stop and help.
