Fears for missing Qld-bound Vic truckie

A truck driver who has been missing for a fortnight may never have begun his 1750-kilometre drive from Victoria to Queensland.

Keith Foggin, 46, was expected to set out by car from Bacchus Marsh, west of Melbourne, on September 24 to begin his next job near his daughter's home in Scarborough, north of Brisbane.

But his almost-daily phone calls to his daughter have stopped, his phone is off and, most concerning for his family, his bank account is untouched.

Mr Foggin's family said his trusting nature and history of hitchhiking may have led to him picking up someone early into his trip.

"I doubt if he'd drive past a hitchhiker," said brother Bruce Foggin.

The grey Ford XD station wagon the truckie is believed to have picked up from a Bacchus Marsh address on September 24 is also missing.

That same day, Mr Foggin was due to pick up a unregistered vehicle permit for the drive to Queensland but it was never collected.

"He doesn't have any money for petrol so he couldn't have got too far," his brother said.

The truck driver had recently completed work at the Royal Melbourne Show.
