A new documentary series spotlights the unsung heroes of the U.S. trucking industry—drivers and workers who keep the nation's supply chain moving.
Trucking on the open road has long been a symbol of freedom, opportunity, and resolve. Now, a new documentary series titled “Driven” shines a spotlight on the dedicated professionals behind the wheel who keep our nation rolling through good times and bad—and the millions more who work throughout the industry to deliver for America.
“Driven” was produced by the American Trucking Associations—in association with ACT 1 and the Texas Trucking Association Foundation—as part of its Nothing Without Trucking campaign, which educates policymakers and the public about the indispensable role trucking plays in Americans’ lives. Beginning with professional drivers, the series plans to document the vast array of roles throughout trucking that come together to form an unbreakable bond in the U.S. supply chain.

Perhaps most exciting of all is that we’re just getting started, with so many more stories still to tell”.
