Armesto’s Transport has serious concerns for the welfare of one its drivers, Danny Martin, and has called on the industry to help find him.
“We have serious concerns about the well-being of one of our drivers Danny who last spoke to our Afterhours Manager at 4.30am this morning, Queensland time (Thursday, March 6),” the company wrote in widely-shared Facebook post today.
“Danny’s said he was helping a new guy” but our Afterhours did not have a breakdown in that area and that didn’t make sense.”
Police went to the parking bay at the Widgiewa rest area south of Narrandera and found Danny’s truck parked in “an odd way”.
He’d been on his usual run from Brisbane to Melbourne at the time.
“The sleeper air-con was running, keys in the ignition, tools sitting on step, Danny’s nowhere to be seen.
“If you’ve seen something or know something please contact Griffith police 02 69694299.
“Please help us find Danny Martin.”
The company confirmed to Big Rigs this evening that the long-time company driver was still missing at 9pm (AEDST).
“We just want to hear from him to make sure he’s okay,” a family spokesperson told Big Rigs.
