Question:
Truck drivers are in an ideal position to see and report human trafficking, that can often occur at truck stops and rest areas. Which of the following trafficking red flags should you look for?
1. An individual who does not know where they are, or about the community around them
2. An individual not in control of their own travel documents, such as a passport or drivers license
3. An individual who seems tense, afraid, or otherwise nervous
4. All of the above
Explanation
Trafficking victims are often moved around, may be victims of physical, sexual and forced drug abuse, and may be forced to work in prostitution. If someone offers you temporary companionship, ask them relevant questions, take descriptions of relevant physical characteristics and vehicles, and offer assistance. DO NOT approach possible traffickers, but call 1-888-3737-888 (US) instead.
