Show Notes

In this week's episode, Editor Gary Castor chats with Heather Luebbert, Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) commercial motor vehicle program manager, regarding MoDOT's involvement in combating human trafficking.

Heather explains that Missouri's central location and extensive transportation network make it a hub for trafficking. MoDOT's role focuses on training employees to recognize and report potential trafficking situations, leveraging their widespread presence across the state. Heather also touches on common warning signs of human trafficking, highlights the vulnerabilities exploited by traffickers, and the misconception that victims can easily leave these situations.
