Weigh Stations are not always open especially in Indiana. If they are open the Officer will weigh the truck and possibly run the MC number. (it has been awhile since I drove) A lot of trucks now have gps. The rules are just as much for the driver as well as the load.
True, most all semi's have GPS and have for years. Plus many companies are now installing digital logs so everything about the driver and truck is tracked every second from the time they leave the terminal until they reach their destination and will continue until they have completed that run and then it starts all over again each time the driver/truck is on the road. In most semis now it has a computer that records every time the truck stops, how long, where, and it shows the speed the driver is driving at any given time.
The only way they would go undetected is they are driving an older truck such as some of the independent drivers have and use paper log books instead of digital ones.
I personally don't believe this murderer is a truck driver but I do think its possible that he somehow hitched a ride with a trucker and the trucker may be unaware the person picked up is wanted in a double homicide. If so, it would be more likely he hitched a ride with an independent driver or a small company because large companies usually do not allow anyone outside of the company to be a passenger in any of their vehicles. It is an automatic dismissal to do so.
IMO
