Officially most companies allow their trucks to drive for only 9 hours in a row (at least in the EU). After that they have to take a long break. Of course, in some countries these rules will be different and less obeyed than in others. If you're talking to a trucker who heads your direction you might think about asking him how much hours he has left.
[[User:Zenit|Zenit]] heard from a Slovak hitchhiker that Spanish trucks, as of February 2011, cannot pick up hitchhikers any more and youafter February 2011 due to an ominous change in laws or insurance policies. His personal experience showed that indeed Spanish truckers aren'll be pressed hard t willing anymore to find an exceptiongive anybody a ride. Also trucks from the UK will very rarely hardly ever pick you up for insurance issues. [[User:Zenit|Zenit]] found German trucks to be your most probable candidate for picking you up, but that could also be because his native language is German.
