they are looking for a truck that may have originated from Texas.

What's weird about this story is the Barstow connection....that town is on I-15 and 40; truckers coming from Texas would not use either of those Interstates.

Not so fast there, Gonzales. It depends upon WHERE in Tejas the truck came from. I-40 passes through the Tejas panhandle. I-15, OTOH, is completely off base, running as it does northward from San Diego thru Vegas...

If I recally my Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas correctly, Barstow is between LA and Vegas.

That's not necessarily true; trucks coming from the Texas panhandle actually would use I-40; it runs straight west from Amarillo...

If the bomb laden truck was coming from Amarillo, Texas, 40 would be the highway of choice.
