...more surprising than what Erickson and his peers at a nondescript warehouse in Elizabethtown, Ky., accomplished that day is who they work for: United Parcel Service.

The Department of Homeland Security this year gave $19.3 million to the American Trucking Associations, which is based in Alexandria, Va., to recruit a volunteer "army" called Highway Watch. So far, 10,000 truckers have signed on to become amateur sleuths. Over the next year, the goal is to add tollbooth workers, rest-stop employees and construction crews, creating a corps of 400,000 people drawn...
