From the Missing Truck Driver Alert Network: “UPDATE 11/25/13: To clarify the “no approach” request. It is standard operating procedure that when a driver takes off with the truck, it is reported as stolen. We here at Missing Truck Driver suggest that NONE of you EVER put yourself into a position where you could potentially be harmed in ALL missing driver cases. It is best to allow the police to make initial contact. In this case, the no-approach is at the request of the Anniston Police Department.”

About Missing Truck Driver Alert Network:
The Missing Truck Driver Alert Network was founded in February 2012 following the disappearance of truck driver Mark Williams Sr. Social media was used to get the word out that Williams was missing. A fellow driver saw the post about Williams and was on the lookout for Williams and his truck. Sadly, Williams was found too late.
The Missing Truck Driver Alert Network was born in the memory of Williams in hopes any driver who goes missing will be found before it’s too late. Truck drivers are the eyes and ears of the highway. The Missing Truck Driver Alert Networkoperates 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to help spread the word to other drivers as quickly as possible when a driver goes missing. When a driver goes missing, Kari Fisher springs into action. She begins collecting as much data about the driver as possible. She phones law enforcement and the driver’s carrier. Fisher works to get the driver’s picture and information distributed so that others can help search for the missing driver. “We make every effort to assist loved ones and friends in locating the missing drivers by working with the law enforcement agencies involved,” the site states. Mark William’s wife, Jonda wrote, “On February 4, 2012, Mark Williams, my husband, went missing.[I] called the police, but they keep puting me off, so I asked Kari and Lee Fisher for help . The Missing Truck Driver Alert Network come to life, and they found my husband. The outcome was not good; he passed away. If i would of had them first, my out come could have been better. THE MISSING TRUCK DRIVER ALERT NETWORK HELP ME AND MY FAMILY AND HAD MORE DONE IN 24 HOURS THE ANYONE ELSE.” In addition to posting missing bulletins to their sites and others, the Missing Truck Driver Alert Network is working to develop a smart phone app that would alert users as soon as a driver goes missing.
