One of the most diverse workforces in the United States right now would be the trucking industry. Take some time to talk to a truck driver today, and ask them about their life story - you’ll meet retired CPAs, nurses, veterans, and just about anyone from every walk of life. Each driver comes with a unique story from their previous careers, beautiful things they’ve seen on the road, and challenges from other motorists. There is always a rich story to uncover.

FreightWorks’ own Claims Specialist James Reidy has had a front-row seat to the stories of so many truck drivers, and this point-of-view on the truck driver life allows him to have a deeper appreciation and connection to the drivers. His work has given him access to some of the problems that drivers had to troubleshoot, and the challenges they’ve overcome, and he can’t help but give the ultimate respect to America’s truck drivers.

This episode will show you why truck drivers should be appreciated all the more - join the conversation here on Life By The Mile, delivered by FreightWorks.
