    And your companies continue to ban weapons. And the country still refuses national reciprocity.

    The trucking company probably has in "idea" if there were 2 or more people in the truck, either authorized or not, and who they were. If this is the scenario (multiple drivers in a truck) then somebody is unaccounted for at the scene, and this is likely your suspect #1.

    If the truck was operated solo, a paid sexual encounter that went bad can not be ruled out. Lots of ways those can go bad, in either direction. Nobody is ever allowed to enter my truck unless it's in a shop or terminal somewhere.

    In which case there would be a trail of blood leading from outside to inside the truck.

    The way he was pulled in forward could lead to several theories.... Easy target for a robbery... Prostitution... Some type of drug deal... Several possibilities...

    No one can be certain what they would do under these circumstances but, I dont think I would retreat to a place without help (a truck with no one in it). Personally, I think if I were stabbed, I think I would be making my way to another nearby truck with someone in it, OR to the truck stop itself, go inside & try to get help. I just dont think I would retreat to a place with no help.

    I'm saying that, I am more inclined to think the attack did happen inside the truck & he never had a chance to get out to call for, or seek help.

    Even though i nose in from time to time i think its a little less safe when you have rows of trucks backed in. Especially at night.
