Hi all. Another (relatively) local poster here. I was even more local when I was younger. Probably running around the Fulton County Fair as a teenager while Worley worked at the fairgrounds.
JDW really bugs me because his areas of interest (motorcycles, trucking, mechanical things) mesh with mine. He seems like someone I should have at least SEEN in my circles. I don't ever recall seeing him and he doesn't look the least bit familiar although my husband is certain he has seen him somewhere. Neither of us have any specific memories of him.
Please pardon my probably odd-looking quote below. I don't really understand how quoting works here, yet.
Worley had a company for moving big stuff, and for repairing engines, but he didn't own a truck with a cab for moving that equipment. He stayed in hotels or at home with that business.

I am curious if this is based on some fact I don't have access to (registration records or something) or if it is just based on the trucks we can see in the pictures of his property? If it's just based on the pictures, I would say that things may have changed substantially since 2011, which is when his operating authority was revoked. For instance, I own several small trucks now that wouldn't be suitable for long haul trucking. But I did own a big truck with a sleeper cab up until about four years ago. When we got out of the business, we didn't keep that truck. It didn't make any sense to hang on to it for local work.
It would be interesting to see when/how JDW obtained his Commercial Drivers' License, and his work history with that license. It's a fair bet that he may have worked as a company driver for another trucking company before he started his own business. Since trucking is one of the few occupations I know of that offer opportunities for people with criminal records (except Haz-mat, which requires a background check), it seems likely that he might have pursued driving truck as an option after one of his stints in prison. Maybe he went to a truck driving school and had a job-placement with one of the larger trucking companies.
Some of that information would be contained in a DAQ report, but I don't think that is publicly accessible information. The new CSA reporting system for drivers, also not publicly accessible, might contain some of it as well. I feel pretty certain that LE can obtain that info with a search warrant, and I would think this is an avenue they would pursue. That means, it might eventually be available to the rest of us.
Getting copies of his logs may prove equally difficult. IF he went over the road, he would need to keep a log book, but he wold only be required to keep old logs for six months (as the carrier under his own authority). Any carrier he worked for would also only be required to keep the logs for six months.
For tax purposes (truck drivers can claim a per diem for each day spent on the road) he might need to keep them for seven years. So, there's a chance those logs are still there and that LE has them. The problem, then, is that logs are not infallible (even the newer e-logs can be fudged). A serial killer may very well be less than honest about where he was, and without Bills of Lading and so forth to corroborate them, might actually offer very little. Still, they might establish a general timeline of where he was, which would be better than nothing.
