Changes

# usually truck companies let their employees work in weekly shifts. This means they leave their country more or less on monday, go deliver somewhere a few thousand kilometers away and return to their country. On their return they will try to load somewhere else (so they aren't driving empty) and deliver their cargo on a location on the way back, before they return to their company's headquarters more or less on Friday. So, you might start approaching trucks by country and day of the week. For example, if you're in [[France]] and going to [[Spain]] and you're hitchhiking on a Tuesday, you'd want to talk first to trucks coming from [[Germany]], the [[Netherlands]], [[Belgium]]. On the contrary, in the end of the week try to catch Spanish and Portugese trucks. If none of those work, turn to the others.

# you can also distinguish direction depending on the cargo. For example, a truck from a southern country transporting German cars, will logically be going south. <!-- Though a fridge truck will probably be going north, as transport of fruits and vegetables hardly ever goes from north to south (at least in the EU). <= the Netherlands are one of the biggest exporters of fruits and vegetables -->
