Jacob Kirkman from Inland-Kenworth, which works closely with Truckers Against Trafficking, explains the importance of how professional drivers can report what they suspect to be human trafficking. He advises drivers to call 911 immediately if they witness or suspect trafficking, and to provide as much detail as possible, including vehicle descriptions and directions.
For uncertain situations, he recommends calling the National Human Trafficking Hotline for assistance. He emphasizes the urgency of reporting since traffickers frequently move victims quickly.
