Human trafficking is happening in everyday places—and often, the people best positioned to stop it don’t realize the power they hold.

In this episode of the Ground Transportation Podcast, James Blain sits down with Lexi Higgins of Truckers Against Trafficking for a candid, eye-opening conversation about what human trafficking really looks like and how transportation professionals play a critical role in prevention and intervention.

Together, they dismantle common misconceptions—like “stranger danger” and “chosen work”—and explain how traffickers use force, fraud, and coercion to hide exploitation in plain sight. From bus terminals to charter vehicles, this episode reveals how drivers, dispatchers, and frontline staff often encounter trafficking at multiple stages, sometimes without realizing it.

More importantly, Lexi explains:

• What signs actually matter
• Why reporting suspected trafficking is always the right call
• How law enforcement uses tips—even when you never hear the outcome
• Why education, not perfection, is what saves lives
• This is not a sensational story—it’s a call to responsibility.

Whether you’re an operator, a driver, or someone who cares about the role transportation plays in our communities, this episode will change the way you see your responsibility—and your ability to make a difference.
