I'm calling B.S. on this story.
Assuming you're going fast enough, "the smell" will be subject to airflow. If you're driving a trash truck, you're not going to smell the crap in the back unless the wind is blowing faster from behind you than the speed at which you're traveling. Is it possible you were traveling fast enough that the wind wasn't blowing the smell back up to your nose?
