cops often don’t arrest buyers because they don’t want to get them into trouble.

Stopped reading there. I find that very hard to believe.

Totally agree.

While truckers are hardly a collection of saints, I would bet a months pay, truckers would be hammering 9-11 on the cell phone if a underage girl was "working the lot".

I've done hundreds if not a thousand hours of U/C stakeout in truck stops ... never saw anything but meth heads, thirty or so, but looking much ... much older.

(which is why I support executing drug dealers)

A pimp running a string of underage females would be working out of hotels using a referral system.
