Truck Drivers Keep America Moving
Without truck drivers and trucks, the everyday lives of citizens would be greatly impacted. Here’s how:
Clean drinking water supplies would run dry in 2 to 4 weeks.
Grocery and convenience stores could run out of food in as little as 3 days.
Fuel stations would run out of supplies in just 1 to 2 days.
Who is the professional driver?
