Dad Is Missing

My Dad left Friday night to take a load from Ohio to Arkansas. A 12hr drive each way. To be delivered Sat. Morning. He called last night at 10 pm lots of traffic and bad accidents he said so he was pulling over near cincinnati to sleep. 5 hr drive home. Noone can find him. Not answering his phone. This has never happened before. Even if he slept all night long he should have been home by now. What do we do?

Just a thought, Does he have a usual truck stop that he hits? If so give them a call and ask for them to spred the word that you are looking for him, also have someone spred the word via cb Hope all turns out fine!

Problem is is that he only takes a load once in a blue moon. Hes not a typical driver. He is driving a douley pick up with a flat trailor attached oh and no cb

I would call Highway Patrol and have them put out an APB. All Points Bulletin. I'll keep you and him in my prayers.

Thank you mountain girl!!!!Please pray for us!!!

That is a tough one Desiree. There are many factors that could account for him not answering the phone. Maybe he got a few hours of sleep and rolled on, or his phone battery is depleted (going straight to voice mail ?), or maybe he is in a no service area... etc.

Have you tried calling the state police for, god forbid, any accidents involving the type of truck? I am not sure how that works, but it is worth a shot. I would just be careful not to panic and possibly put him in a tough position.

I hope he gets home safe to you.

Thank. You Thunder. Thats what is weird. His phone rings about 5 tines before vm so I dont think its dead. The police were called and asked if he was in an accident or arrested.( never been arrested< before but trying anything) Just hurry up and wait I guess./b>
