If you're casually driving around, you might not notice those details right away. But to truckers, like Wesley Fountain, who travel interstates and back roads day in and day out, they remember those specifics, and keep a lookout.

"I try and look for the actual vehicle if it's a unique vehicle," he said, "Now if it's a newer vehicle, I'll memorize the tag itself. That's how I do it. I usually get the alerts on my phone – they're easier for me than the ones on the highway."

In his ten years of driving, he's never spotted the subject of an AMBER Alert, but he's got his eyes open for all hazards on the road.

"I call in a lot of drunk drivers, but that's about it. Drunk drivers, or people that are doing something silly or something I don't understand. Or someone broke down," said Fountain.
