Imagine empty shelves in supermarkets, closed cafes, and abandoned cars on the street with no fuel in tanks. This isn’t the beginning of a global war or a zombie apocalypse — it’s what will happen in America if the trucking industry stops for just three days. Trucking is the backbone of logistics in the States. Trucks move roughly 71% of the nation’s freight by weight, from iPhones to aspirin and toilet paper. The industry employs 8.5 million U.S. citizens.
