Red Flags for Truckers

Human trafficking is modern-day slavery. Traffickers use force, fraud, and coercion to control their victims. Any minor engaged in commercial sex is a victim of human trafficking. While the initial purchase of victims may occur online, the real-time sale of victims can happen in many locations, including truck stops, restaurants, rest areas, hotels/motels, strip clubs, private homes, etc.

Professional drivers are the eyes and ears of our nation’s highways. If you see a minor working in any of those areas or suspect that the person selling sex is under someone else’s control in order to make a quota, call the National Human Trafficking Hotline and report a tip. If you are witnessing a crime in progress, please call 911.

What to look for:

• Lack of knowledge of their whereabouts; not in control of ID/passport
• Restricted or controlled communication – not allowed to speak for self
• CB chatter about “commercial company” or flashing lights signaling “buyer” location
• Acknowledgment of a pimp and making a quota
• A van or RV that seems out of place out by trucks; a vehicle dropping someone off at a truck and picking them up 15-20 minutes later

Warning: Please do not approach traffickers.

Allow law enforcement to deal with traffickers and recover victims. Approaching traffickers is not only dangerous for you and their victims but could lead to problems in the eventual prosecution of traffickers.

GM Safety Reminder

Drivers arriving at GM sites MUST wear an orange high visibility safety vest. It has become an ongoing issue of drivers NOT having this required PPE on arrival to GM.
