FBI: More than 850 murders are linked to long-haul truckers | Vargas Reports 

They're also responsible for thousands of urine filled bottles tossed out on the roads

I am a truck driver, and this chills me to the bone

He spent a year riding 2000 miles in a big rig. Wrong. 2000 miles is a slow week as a trucker. Not a year.

850 women found. Let’s not forget all the missing women. It stretches into Canada too. We have the highway of tears. It’s a North America issue.

A lot of FBI haters in the comments section. This guy isn't saying that all truckers are dangerous, but some are. They have the perfect opportunity to do this while driving cross country and a lot of time late at night. There are hookers at some truck stops and everyone knows this. The majority of truckers are honest hard working people. Unfortunately, a few bad ones give the rest a bad name,just like in the police department!

he forgot to mention the amount of felons this industry attracts.

My mom used to be a cross country driver she told me most guys were strange at truck stops she had to watch her back all the time.

2000 miles! That's it? That's barely a one-way road trip.

There’s more all the way back to the 80s.

Prostitution is dangerous.

Maybe he should write a book about physco cops. Theres plenty of them out there too.

2000 miles is 3 days on the road lololol

As if the industry doesn't already have enough stains on its reputation. Parked my rig for the last time 15 years ago this month and haven't regretted it for a single moment!

Sounds like a way to push for autonomous Semi-trucks.

2000 miles is a joke

I like the painting behind the guy being interviewed. Years ago, I hitchhiked many times back and forth from Midwest to West coast, and have had many rides from truckers, and 1) I am still alive and 2) All of them were kind, did not try anything sexual, had good conversations, were good people. Some were one man, some were couples. I never got picked up by a woman driver. I did meet one who said he was driving, and a car had the hood up, so he stopped to help them, he said they threw acid in his face, robbed him and left him on the highway.... because it was a trap, there was nothing wrong with their car. He managed to get back to his truck and rinse it off, then get help.... this was in the early 1970's when there were no cell phones. I am telling my story because sometimes we need each other, and don't be afraid of everyone. Pay attention, stay safe. In reality, I never should have hitchhiked, it is very risky... it was popular back in the 'hippie' times, but one of my friends was killed doing it. Remember, many women get raped and killed by their lovers, men too, so pay attention to red flags and do all you can to protect yourself and your loved ones. Don't get into a truck or car to make money either, there are better ways to make money.... you are valuable! I also want to thank all the truckers that bring us things we need to live! Thank you very much for risking your lives in all kinds of weather, you have done so much good for people, you are valuable!

I'm an 18 year driver. And a proud one at that. Evil has no boundaries. It exists in every profession. For this dude who rode a whopping 2k miles and has the audacity to call us all monsters is truly appalling to me

Wonder how many murders committed by FBI , CIA , homeland security , and the rest of leo ? 2000 miles ? That is less then a week's travel 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

2:25 2000 miles. So you didn’t even drive all the way from LA to New York. Wow, I’m so impressed dude did three days of research.

Wow, one whole year on the road and almost 2000 miles! Remarkable!

What about all those RV’S and CAMPERS . It could be them

2000 miles is like a drop in the bucket for most truck drivers, and he thinks he knows everything?

Did Long Haul 20 years. Conditions continuously got worse . Much more safe parking needed . It's depressing the respect we don't get

I hate passing these trucks on the highway, been run off the road by one and it scared the 💩 outta me. 😢

850 murders along highways does NOT equal long haul truckers automatically being suspects... the reasons for victims being on highways are many.... highways are natural crime dump areas..... highways are convenient for commuters as well as murderers.... don't paint all truckers like this, it's irresponsible at best...

Started 1977 long haul trucking. Still at it in 2024. Pin another stereotype on us. We can carry the load. Keep on Truck’in.

If youve ever worked at a truck stop this doesnt surprise you at all. Some of these guys are seriously warped.

My Brother is 71 yo and a retired long haul trucker for 15 years and he's been saying this all along.

Who are they killing, sex workers? I ask because I can't recall a "lady of the night" banging on my door at 2am, in the last 8-10 yrs. I drive long haul and honestly the Truckers Against Trafficking campaign, tighter security at truckstops, 24 hr on board video surveillance on semi trucks and a general shift away from prostitution, there aren't any working girls anymore. I have been long haul for 27 years now and there was a time when I dreaded parking at truckstops due to the constant door knockers.

I’ve met some psychopathic truckers in my day. I had one speed up in a passing lane and cut me off as a car was coming the other way. Had I not slammed the breaks on he would have killed me. Could see him laughing in the process. Had another one that was a roommate years ago and he did meth and popped pain pills. Wasn’t until he passed out on the road, smashed his truck into a tree and passed out that his license got revoked. On the other hand my dad’s best friend as a kid was a trucker and one of the nicest guys I’ve ever known.

There are 300,000 and 500,000 long haul truckers currently. These stats goes back over decades so you're talking millions of people. This guy is trying to sell books, bottom line.

When i used to drive a truck, i was at a truck stop in san Antonio and seen a lot lizard get in a truck with a guy that left and when he got back, she wasn't with him. Maybe she was dropped off somewhere or maybe she wasn't, that was back in 2005

Funny how ppl can listen to this and eat up every word. 2000 miles is not impressive nor has it even begun to scratch the surface of the trucking industry. Been in the trucking industry as a long haul for over 10yrs, and as a female trucker I have to say we get alot of negativity from ppl that don't have the slightest clue what it's like to be out here. And based on this dudes statistics because I enjoy isolation and being alone means I'm gonna be a killer? That's a laugh, I enjoy the peace and quiet cuz ppl are idiots. This video proofs that.

0:05 “He spent a year going 2,000 miles…” Me: Haha, Aww she must’ve misread 200,000 miles on the teleprompter …Nope, she read it right.

I thought about this years ago. I believe it

Maybe you should point out its a known Felon Friendly job. When you get out of prison this is the job you get! Duh!!! Don't point out the obvious, how stupid!!!

remember when jeremy clarkson got in trouble for making a joke about truckers killing women ?

i drove more than 2000 miles in an 1985 chevette not impressed at all dude

This is insane

Wow you did 2000 miles with a flatbed as a long haul trucker? Wow you're definitely a pro. You do realize that people run or bicycle over 2000 miles as a hobby? Nope I'm looking for serial killers! Can't you find a better way to supplement your retirement? Going on news nation and saying you drove a big rig 2000 miles, lol

I experienced one trucker, and a group of truckers try to run me/my pick-up off the road for sport on a couple of my cross-country trips. It was terrifying. When I tried to speed up or slow down, they would let one of the others know and I'd get ganged up on again. I've often wondered if people were thought to have fallen asleep at the wheel and died, but is was a situation like mine - homicidal truckers. I strategically timed my stops/fill-ups for daytime only, due to all the stories I'd heard growing up. On another note, I had one protect me for many miles late at night: keeping me awake by honking right next to me whenever I seemed sleepy.

G-Man pushing his book.

2000 miles is literally a day’s riding bud 😂

2,000 miles, I can do that in 3 days. Let's not make this a trucker issue, make this a criminal issue.

Deleting comments you don't like again

Wow this is scary!

Look at these guys at truck stops. The 'lot lizards' walk right into their vehicles.

😮I would never forget them showing a lady in New Jersey hanging. out of a cab of a big rigs screaming and hollering for someone to help her. They have been at least 5 years since I seen that. And before anyone can get to them he drove off but I .always wondered what happened to this lady.

I've been saying this all my life, they're some of the creepiest folk with zero impulse control.

That’s actually an EXTREMELY small number

I will definitely buy this book.

Tell me you’ve seen way too many movies without telling me

And its gonna get way worse with all the migrant truckers driving now

Most truckers are not gonna sign up for this strenuous job to go on a murder tour. This is just slanderous. Why dont you do a piece on all the p**os in our local communities instead.

Serial killer come different forms it not jst trucker... There are ppl on regular cars might be serial killer or cops can get away of murder as well

I had a coworker who said he drove truck for 30 years, he had to retire because of his health. He said to me once that North Dakota and Wyoming was his favorite places to drive, I asked why? He said easy places to hide a body and busted out laughing. It sent chills down my spine.

What I would like to know is how many cases did he solve while working as an FBI agent

He thinks its long haul truckers he isnt sure talk about assuming

Stfu.... why you trying to turn people against Truckers?

.....yet and still EVERYTHING you buy in a store came to that store on a truck

The REAL HORRORS drop in, anywhere, off of TRAINS, IMHO.

So. Has a report been about long haul truckers in other countries…. Or is it just an American phenomenon. ?

You’d have to be really stupid if you didn’t realise there are people out there hunting people

Long haul trucker here (not a s.k.! 😅) I can't wait to read this book!!!

It makes so much sense because they show up and then leave.

That's not that many when you think how many truckers there are.

2,000 miles ain't even a week. What an expert P$@@Y on trucking he is. Cameras in trucks and GPS tracking mandated by the FED Gov coming to your privately owned vehicles. PLZ MSM stop the fear porn would yah.... 500 miles a day is 4 days on the road. To make a living you gotta run 3,500 to 4,000 miles a week.

2k miles huh? Really? I drove more than that one way from ohio to Oregon... he didn't investigate to hard.

Thank you for your diligence in capturing these cruel drivers. When I was young, in '60s, I was told to trust a trucker if I broke down......not anymore!

The numbers are staggering...

these should'ant surprise any one and i would bet my house that they is way more than 850 murders committed by ' truckers" more like 85,000 world wide 😔

Spent a year driving 2000 measly miles? That’s less than a weeks worth of miles for a solo trucker.

These 2 liberals don't know what they are talking about. Anything to bash trump when discussing long haul truckers lol.

I said, this fact back in the mid 80's. It is the perfect cover.

A little math helps put this in perspective. With 21,000+ murders a year, and who knows how many abductions a year, 850 murders over several decades is not that staggering. Still tragic but there are 3.5 million truck drivers (not sure how many are long haul) so maybe not as dark as it appears in this tiny segment.

We've been shouting this for decades. Not all truckers are bad guys obviously, but bad guys are drawn to that profession because it's easy to get away with stuff.

“Im looking for candy cane “

Why don't they talk about all the serial criminal KILLERS in every other profession!!!!!

I’m buying this book after this segment. Frank I respect and appreciate your opinion and honesty.

they want truckers to feel dangerous so they can put heavy regulations on them to the point thye quit and no one hauls supplies across america anymore. effectively cutting off the supply chain

I was in a Sams Club prking lot trying to get my car to start around 2AM when i stumbled across a truck driver. I asked him for help, and he eventually helped me to start my car. We had a 30 minute conversation. At one point in the conversation, he got fidgety, his eyes got wide, and he flashed his gun at me. I did the best i could to calm him down unnoticably. He also talked about his mental struggles, and how he was involved with drugs and gangs until he remembered his roots and how he got out of that life getting his CDL. I'm not sure if i was talking face-to-face with a killer that day, but there's a pretty good chance that i was.

You would think they would have a system that tracks all of the cargo being shipped inside the United States. Then it's as simple as having a computer program. Give you a list Of trucks? That are in those areas at that time.

My kid is a driver and I go with him sometimes and I can truly say ... I have never ever been disrespected or bothered by anyone ever!!! But my kid wasn't raised for this kind of world

If you’re not living in a fog, you already know that a lot of truckers have a history of being serial killers. Not ALL but this shouldn’t be surprising

Far more than 850

I did Long haul trucking for a comparatively short period of time back in the 1970s an early 1980s. I never met anybody I suspected of being a serial killer. I most certainly did meet people of whom I was very suspicious. I can tell you this right now. If I get that feeling about a person it's always every time true. Might not be provable in a tangible way but many times it was proved in a tangible way. I was right every time.

I can certainly believe it. So many, so sad💔 Human trafficking for reals🤢

2000 miles in a year ? Did I hear that right? That’s a long weekend!

Maybe some answers for MMIW?

I drove almost 900 miles in two days running up to CT on a weekend…2k miles is kind of a joke lol

Lmao! "He spent more than a year riding 2,000 miles" lady, I drive 3,000 to 4,000 miles a week!

I was a regional truckdriver and never seen a single prostitute, not even once. The police are definitely doing a good job fixing the prostitution problem because I never have seen them anywhere near a Pilot's or Love's even in Vegas.

I used to drive an met many people most good but some gave ya the chills ....we worried about rocks being thrown mostly ....

So sad. I knew someone that was a truck driver 40 years ago. It was a fraternity in a good way. Now in a bad way

JUSTICE ❤ 4 noah presgrove

The FBI guy here is delusional

Newsnation thank you for interviewing Frank and thank you Frank for writing that very informative book I think it will be a great asset for people trying to understand how something like that works. I've always felt Frank was one of those good FBI agents educated honest and with a true love for democracy and the rule of law to be just

Yikes. I live next to a truck stop. Who would've thought?

Write a book about our pos psycho politicians

2000 miles? So not even a week…
