Trucker who made 911 call this morning just got home to Ludlow, Kentucky

[bfeller]

One of the truck drivers that made the 911 call this morning about the two men that police were looking for in Maryland is from Luclow, Kentucky. He just pulled in his driveway and the local news is interviewing him. He said that the police told him to pull his truck to block the rest area and to stay away from them. Police were there asap. He said there was a hole in the trunk about 4 inches round and they found a gun and scope. One of the men was sleeping and the other was by the restroom. The man has 5 more truck loads to go to Wilmington, Deleware and then he will be retiring. They asked him what he would do if he gets the reward money and he said that he has no idea if he was the first or second trucker to call but if he got the money he would give it to the families of the victims.

Just makes you want to cry. He didn't like being called a hero. He said that he just did what a responsible person should be doing.

Good to hear that greed hasn't consumed everybody

The truck driver's name is Ron Lanz (not sure on spelling) but I forgot to mention that he said that they also found a tripod.

Sounds like a really nice guy, and someone we have to be thankful to.

Heard him on Bill Cunningham's radio show on WLW 700 this afternoon. He was listening to the Trucking Bozo radio show last night on 700 am out of Cincinnati, many truck drivers listen to this show while they are driving at night. Bozo gave out the description on his show as to what to be on the lookout for. This is how he knew what to look for.

Yeah for the Truck Driver...He is one great guy in my book. We need more people like him in the world. Sometimes a little thing is a BIG thing.

The Truckin' Bozo Show is the premiere radio show for truckers!! And the actions of Ron Lanz once again proves that Professional Truck Drivers (well, most of them!!) truly are the "Knights of the Highway."

Did you know that hundreds of Truck Drivers have been trained to participate in a national "Highway Watch" program? This program has the drivers trained to identify and report emergency situations or suspicious activities related to terrorism.
