    There was 38 ppl in trailer most were in critical condition had one more day pass they would all be dead.One of the people ask a Walmart employee for a glass of water and I guess Walmart seen him get back into trailer and then he called the cops.

    They have the truck driver in custody. Ahem, I would love to be the fly on the wall in that interrogation room today.

    These are the kinds of stories that drive the negative image the general public has of class 8 truck drivers. Between this and the occasional serial killer who turns out to be a part time truck driver we can't catch a break, They think that this driver is 100% responsible for the human trafficking when he was just the final cog in the wheel.
