It's unfortunate they didn't publish the company he drove for, or the kind of truck he was driving. Often drivers recognize other drivers by associating with that information.
 
According to other sites his truck has been found- still looking for the driver. Not too many details have been provided.

they found him, did you read about this?

MONTREAL — A Quebec trucker who went missing in the U.S. has been found alive after five days in the woods of California.

Benoit Marineau's wife, Nathalie Viau, tells QMI Agency that her 44-year-old husband was found near Truckee, Calif., late Wednesday.

Viau said her husband picked up a hitchhiker who turned on him and began uttering threats.

Marineau then ran into the woods and got lost for several days.

"‹The native of Mirabel, Que., vanished last Friday at the California-Nevada border.

Police found his truck abandoned with the engine running.

His wife flew to California to help authorities in their search.

The lifelong trucker had driven down to the United States for a delivery.

His wife last heard from him last week when he called her from San Mateo, Cali., asking her to find him a load to bring back to Quebec.
 
Who "in their right mind" still picks up hitchhikers? In this crazy day & age. I know picking the guy up was a super nice gesture...but you just can't do that kind of thing nowadays - too many whack jobs. It's sad..but the reality we all live in...
 
Bet he won't be that super nice again. Great news to cap off the week - we're all very glad he is safe!!!!!
 
Wow.. That is quite a story. What a relief for his wife and family that he was found. Unfortunate he didn't have time to grab his cell phone before he fled the truck. Glad to hear it was a happy ending.
