Truckers: Kings of the Road | ENDEVR Documentary
In the USA, truck drivers, known as 'truckers', form a close-knit community of more than three million members. They are vital pillars of the US economy, because 70% of all goods are transported by road in the USA. Day in, day out, they crisscross the country on the freeways in their huge trucks, steel monsters which can carry a load of up to sixty tonnes.
Truckers have their own rituals and traditions. They maintain their trucks with extreme care, as well as adding their own personality with quirky customisations. More than anything, these road warriors are the embodiment of the American dream, evoking the cowboys of yesteryear. Their lives are based on liberty, travel, and wide open spaces. But the work is hard physically, and they suffer long weeks of separation from their family. Depression and divorce are common. They also face more and more onerous government regulation.
The profession has been facing a recruitment crisis over the past few years. The industry needs to recruit one million drivers by 2030 in order to satisfy demand. Thanks to this labour shortage, some new truckers have joined the profession. The number of women truck drivers has increased dramatically. They now represent more than 10% of American truckers.

Lydia, aged 28 and mother of two, is one of them. She has a following on social media where she shares her life as a female trucker, and her struggle to survive in this difficult, often macho, profession while finding a balance with family life.
Show de bola.a American truckers .😊
Meanwhile the old guard keep on trucking, despite everything. Men like Gary Jones, who specialises in oversized convoys. Every day he has to plan and anticipate potential hazards on the road, which are more and more common. Or like Tony Justice, who is both a trucker and a country singer. He has become the spokesperson for a community which is still very much alive and more attatched than ever to its traditions.

@Blackrebel1973And because these indians running 18 hrs different signs of companies on their trucks to avoid DOT regulations and watching freaking tv while going down the road is why the government had to crack down CDL's being handed out in calofornia without proper training etc ..our roads are unsafe by 20% pf these drivers and other percentages from other foriegners

@iulianOlariu-t3eTrucking is a hard job.. but my wife and I driving together has changed our life.
@jabo6479Trucker Pride in working hard sounds out of balance. '18hrs a day, 7 days a week'

Temper the wreckless cowboy attitudes & build an infra structure that gets more of these longhaul deliveries off the roads
Where ever Indian goes they slash the prices half.

@SturgeonBailBondsThanks for showing the world that punjabi Sikhs have a big role in American trucking 🚛🚛 industry in crona pendamic sikhs gave the free food for the truckers because of the closing the restorents there was no food for truckers on those days then SEKHS came forward and they start giving free veg food for all the drivers I think at that time Mr Bidin was the president of usa or Mr Obama iam not sure about that every one thanks to SIKHS for this act of kindness for all the truck drivers of usa and Canada that's why usa Govt put sikh's flag with the American national flag
@abc5911-w7pTHIS IS GREAT WELL EDITIED NO LOUD BACKGROUNG MUSIC CLEAR AUDIO
@JJGR8666Trucking back in the day was a good and honest profession. Now they're the worst and rudest people on the road.
@robreuler144God bless every trucker here in the UK and America.
@TheMrgaztopGood Morning

@alonmarks1000-f1rProud to be our American trucker appreciate your job 🫡🙏GOD bless America 🇺🇸
@rajindersingh-gs5cdThat is the poorest representation of truckers I think I've ever seen
@jeremyreed-v2gYour narrator pretty loose bout claiming shortage of truck drivers.
Reality, if'n u not shy bout getting it straight, THE ONES WHO MUST PAY FOR TRUKING SERVICES, want too many trucks, n pay below-standard fees, for trucking services. Ask any truckers how little/few paying loads they get now !!
As far as hours of service & safety issues, answer this responsibly:
WHEN TRUCK DRIVER SHOWS UP ON TIME, FOR PICKUP/DELIVERY, WHY DO FEDERAL AGENCIES FAIL TO HOLD THE DELAYS CAUSER ACCOUNTABLE; AND PAY THE TRUCK CASH PENALTY OF A SUBSTANTIAL SUM, eh?❤
We need more money 💰
@BigWiLL_973Without Trucks the world stops right, thankfully the Indian, female & old school truckies keep our economies going ❤❤❤❤
